Don't get snooty with me when you obviously can't use the googles. Since you need to get spoon fed, from the link I posted, https://www.eroica-ciclismo.it/docume...amento_eng.pdf

I'm curious about this too. They remind me of suicide shifters on motorcycles (my other hobby). Since it's Campy, I can imagine it would only cost me a small fortune and my first born to procure one.

Wonderful bike. Have fun riding it! I remember the area well, the parents of friend of mine have a summer house in the area, so I visited it twice for an extended period. That was all before I got into Italian bikes, off course. I was negotiating terms with my dad to go this year and ride it but unfortunately circumstances prevented it. Even though my ALAN would probably not be up to the standard that most bikes have there...

There is a sprung load in the lever that holds the chain guide unitary in motion with the lever and Q/R unit of the hub until such point that the chain applies sufficient sidewards pressure on the chain guide. Then the motion of the chain guide is momentarily disconnected from the Q/R unit of the hub and becomes unitary only with the lever allowing you to pedal backwards and guide the chain to the desired cog by moving the chain guide. Once in gear, you stop pedaling and then applying sufficient force on the lever to once again overcome the sprung load, you return to a situation where the motion of the lever is unitary with the Q/R unit of the hub allowing you to once again lock the wheel in place.

Stunning. Wonderful video. If this isn't the spirit of C&V, I don't know what is. Good luck at L'Eroica, mrjav!

It's been long enough but I finally took the time to recap my fifteen-plus hours in the saddle in Tuscany last month. I have a number of photos in there as well. The writeup's a bit long, so I'll link you over at... https://rorymasini.blogspot.com/2011/...1-leroica.html
Enjoy, and see you there next year!

Really neat seeing some of these legends, Moser still looks fit. What a great event, 2 wheel magic, steel, tubulars, wool, cool!
