In addition to worn out g-springs, some of the older nine speed levers
(mine are the '98 model) had weak g-spring carriers. A post broke off
mine after a few thousand kilometres.

Luckily Branford had a replacement (and a reinforced one to boot) for
bugger-all money.

I love my old Campy levers. I've worn out a couple of sets of springs
in them (and the carrier) and after half an hours work, they're good as
new.
