Mystery part... Part of Campagnolo chain or installation?
Just replaced the chain with a new Campag Ultra Narrow 5.9mm Veloce
grade chain last night and took it for a ride this morning. After the ride, while wiping the bike down, I found this tiny polished metallic ring on the Rt chain stay. It must have held on by static electricity or a bit of sticky grease. The tiny metallic ring measures approx 4mm diameter and is made of polished metal wire of approx 0.35mm in diameter. Anyone know where it might be from? Could it be part of the chain that was just installed? One other thing I noticed is that this chain is a lot quieter, near silent, compared with the KMC chain that came with the bike. I noted previously that with the old KMC chain, the Chorus cassette ran pretty much silent while the Veloce cassette (both new,12-25, 2006 model) was noisy despite adjustments. Even though with a bit of run-in, the Veloce cassette got to be a bit quieter, but it was still not the same as the Chorus. Now with the new Campag Veloce chain, it's equal with that Chorus. Interesting bit of anecdote. -- |

Lou Dear Lou, Wouldn't you begin to worry if you found bits of metal stuck to your chainstays by static electricity after a ride? Cheers, Carl Fogel |

It's too delicate and clean to have come from the road. And when I saw it, it was resting perfectly at the top of the chainstay towards the very rear. It's just really bizarre! -- |

You do get a little circlip around the end of the spindle that the QR lever is on. Not the spindle through the axle, but the eccentric shaft thing that the lever itself rotates on as you open and close it. The shaft sticks out the other end from the handle and may be retained with a circlip at that point. I don't think the one on my bike is a complete ring like you describe, but perhaps it's from there? You could check it's not missing. I lost one once and made a replacement by cutting a small shape from the wall of a plastic coke bottle. |

One other thing I noticed is that this chain is a lot quieter, near silent, compared with the KMC chain that came with the bike.

Cheers, Carl Fogel If everthing is working properly and after checking the bike, no. This piece of metal could easily be picked up by the tire. Lou Dear Lou, Maybe this will clarify things . . . Static electricity? Cheers, Carl Fogel |
