Campy Ergo shifting question
I have question more than a problem but maybe someone can shed some light. I have Campy 9-spd Veloce Ergo levers and 13-28 cassette, a Centaur rear derailleur, and a new cable. With everything adjusted as well as I can get it, I can lightly tap the lever to shift up to the bigger cog through every gear except the last. On the last shift, to the big cog, a light tap will result in the derailleur not lining up exactly right on the last cog and it'll be noisy until I tap it over again. If I give it a nice firm throw it shifts fine. This was also the case when I had a Veloce rear derailleur, 13-26 cassette, and the old cable. The only common component is the Ergo lever. It's a subtle difference but it's there. Do you think there is a problem with the lever? Or is it just normal to have to give it a firm push?
