Campy Cable Adjuster
1 Attachment(s)
Hello, I've been trying to match one of these. I'd prefer to find one like the one on the left with white rubber. I found a place that sells the black nut rubber alone, but would prefer white for this bike. Thanks.

good luck

Unfortunately, probably the cheapest way to buy one would be with a beat-up Athena caliper c'90.

You can get white O rings on Amazon that are a good match.

I found the whole barrel with nut rubber on Brandfords Bikes for $40. Ouch! But, of course it's black.
I'll check out Amazon. |
actually the gentleman from Electra that was taking opinions on what old items we would like to see.. he could make a fortune just selling those adjusters.

It has always seemed to me that someone with some free time and a metal lathe could make reasonable-looking replacements from standard hardware. It's an allen-head bolt of the correct threading with a hole down the middle and one side ground off. The adjuster is a thumb nut plus an o-ring. They wouldn't be exact copies, of course, but certainly workable.
Back of the envelope guesstimate would make $20/pair profitable for a hobbiest, $10/pair for someone with a dedicated machinist and more sophisticated tooling. |

You won't find the old adjuster for sale new anywhere. You may luck into one on eBay, or might be able to buy a single caliper. Try
this, maybe or This, closer, or this, for sure. You can match the black one. The new stuff is pretty much like the old stuff. |
That last Chorus one looks like the ticket, at a fair price. Thanks alot:thumb:
|
I have a couple white spares ( i mean rubber only) PM me if interested.
