I feel like crying – Campagnolo ergo cracking woes

    I posted a thread up last week about a new shape Campag Centaur ergo lever breaking and causing me to come off the bike.

    Anyway, this week I decided to fit a set of replacement ergos that I had bought new. I am now feeling extremely peeved – I installed them on my bar (Easton EC90 Aero) in line with the Campag instructions, using an accurate torque meter – and they immediately developed a crack in the lever body. I feel like throwing them in the bin and giving up with it all.

    I’m just baffled as I had the old shape lever on this bar without a problem. I have also been installing and using Campag ergos for over ten years without a single problem.

    The Easton website says the bar is Campag compatible, the levers are positioned on the bar in line with the Campag instructions and tightened with an accurate torque meter. Am I doing something wrong (that is other than attempting to try out the new shape levers)? I wish I’d just kept with the old ones now.

    I know there are worse things happening in the world, but I’d be grateful if anyone could shed some light on this as this is troubling me.

    Thanks

    My first port of call would
    My first port of call would be the Campagnolo dealer you bought them from, then when they inevitably fob you off, I’d be talking to the UK Campagnolo importer.

    It looks very much like the combination of that bar and that lever is stressing the lower part of the lever body such that it breaks, which is something that they should be made aware of, and should sort out for you.
