| 1409.1 | ONE MORE THING | WMOIS::C_GIROUARD | | Fri Jan 12 1990 14:49 | 4 |
| I forgot to mention that NASHBAR was the source and naturally
Campy didn't have an instruction booklet in the box.

| When you find out, report it here. There is a small hex key that you
can access through the front of each brake lever, and after six months,
I STILL don't know what the adjustment's supposed to accomplish. It
doesn't seem to me like it does anything!

| 1409.4 | THE ENVELOPE PLEASE... | WMOIS::C_GIROUARD | | Mon Jan 15 1990 13:20 | 8 |
| Just talked with Campy and here's the scoop. It's called the
seat binder cable holder for the brake cable. There is only
one for the rear brake and (in some cases) maybe required to
properly position the cable to maintain the correct parallel
alignment of the rear brake. Since the front cable is generally
a vertical application, there is no need.

| 1409.5 | OIL OR GREASE? | WMOIS::C_GIROUARD | | Mon Jan 22 1990 10:58 | 13 |
| Here's another one; Should I be using grease or oil on the cam/
lever workings inside of the brake itself?
My guess is that grease would be better, but I'd really have to take
the brake apart to really do the job right. I could oil the moving
parts easily with the small tube that generally accompanies cycling
oil.
What have you DELTA owners used??
Thanks,
Chip

| 1409.6 | Nothing, so far. (8 months) | CESARE::JOHNSON | Matt Johnson, DTN 871-7473 | Mon Jan 22 1990 14:52 | 4 |
| You still haven't let us know what the two tiny hex bolts (accessible from
the front of the brakehandles) are for....

| 1409.7 | IT'S OIL vs. GREASE... | WMOIS::C_GIROUARD | | Mon Jan 22 1990 14:57 | 9 |
| Regarding the tiny hex bolts... I just finished talking with Campy.
I guess I should've read this note first. They say oil on the cams/
levers. Just a drop though and now and then.
Maybe I will call 'em this afternoon and try and get a response. The
little openings also have +'s & -'s (or are they little arrows). If
anyone has a clue, just insert here....

| 1409.8 | 'Feel' adjustment??? | MAYDAY::HEMMINGS | Lanterne Rouge | Tue Jan 23 1990 05:51 | 7 |
|
I seem to remember there was some blurb about being able to adjust the force
required at the lever to your own personal liking....
Could this be the answer? + for more force, - for less....

| 1409.9 | GOT IT!! | WMOIS::C_GIROUARD | | Thu Jan 25 1990 14:41 | 11 |
| I just got through speaking with Campy (again). The little allen
bolts in the brake levels are a fine tuning mechanism that changes
the "feeling of brake pull". But I was told it is a micro-adjustment.
Don't look for major changes. They'd be more like nuances.
The adjustment actually controls the amount of cable travel when the
levers are applied.
Learn somethin' new everyday (almost).

| 1409.10 | Did instructions accompany the brakes? | DECWET::BINGHAM | John | Thu Jan 25 1990 19:39 | 3 |
| The Campagnolo products I have purchased had installation and
adjustment instructions that were good. Did the delta brakes not
have them or were they not complete?

| The brakes were on the bike when I bought it.

| 1409.12 | YES & NO... | WMOIS::C_GIROUARD | | Fri Jan 26 1990 11:57 | 6 |
| Mine were complete, but no instruction booklet which was wierd because
every other C Record or Chorus component I've ever purchased always
came with instructions. Sketchy at best, but at least they're were
illustrations.

| Hey Paul, where ya been? I attached the front one yesterday. The
pull is unbelievable. Smooth, controlled. Maybe it's a head thing
but I really like 'em. I'm sure I'll have to go through "road"
adjustment. Thank You Santa....
