Chorus Brake Spring?
I just mounted a chorus rear brake and it appears to have a weaker spring
than the shimano brakes I am more accustomed to. The brake almost feels/looks like there is drag in the cable housing, which there isn't. The brake was purchased used, it appeared clean but I lubed it w/ no improvement. Is there any adjustment to the pivot points? Is this normal? Any thoughts?

You should be albe to find a diagram on Camagnolos website. -- Morten Reippuert Knudsen :-) http://blog.reippuert.dk Merlin Works CR-3/2.5 & Campagnolo Chorus 2007. |

If still a problem bend the spring out. may because of the lever you are using, if it's a non Campag one. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.
