Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Modolo Morphos

I bought the Modolo Morphos when it came out around two years ago because it's light and cheap plus the Modolo reputation. I installed it on my Olmo Syntex bike with Dura Ace 9 speed derailleur, chain and cogset. Modolo claimed that this brake lever/shifter works with Campagnolo 8 speed, Shimano 8 speed and Shimano 9 speed but that doesn't seem the case because I have been using this shifter for two years and the chain still jumps from one cog to another. Can anybody give me a tip on how to fine tune this shifter? I already brought it to a professional mechanic who used to be the team mechanic of team Saturn and he couldn't make it work properly. I need help...please help me.....

Sir,

Your problem is common. We sold here as soon as they released a while back and many were quick to buy. Sadly after a few complaints we stopped sellling and will refuse to sell this product unless ya' twist my arm.

I knew before hand that it wouldn't work that good. A product that cn accommodate all those spacings is too good to be true. If you have Shimano buy Shimnao and if you have Campy buy Campy. That will always work.
