Campy spare parts
My local bike shop offered to get me some campagnolo spare parts,
specifically, a 28.6 clamp to convert my 2003 chorus front derailleur to 28.6 mm, and some other small brake parts. The 2004 centuar derailleur is listed with a 28.6 clamp, and the 31.8 and 34.9 and other parts are identical to chorus, so I know that the centaur clamp will work on my chorus derailleur. yes, i know i could get a brazeon and an adapter for 28.6. It seems that my favorite shop was either reluctant, or unable, to get these parts directly from campagnolo. they had to get the spares from a 3rd party supplier - not quality bicycle parts (QBP). Is campagnolo still offering spare parts direct to bike shops ?? If so, how far in the past can you usually go and be assured of getting the parts ?? Or has Campagnolo USA stopped supplying spare parts as a marketing policy ? - Don Gillies San Diego, CA |

Re: Campy spare parts
Campagnolo never offered them directly - your LBS has
to buy them from an authorized distributor such as QBP. e-RICHIE "Donald Gillies" <gillies@cs.ubc.ca> wrote in message news:c69d9k$6d$1@cascade.cs.ubc.ca... > My local bike shop offered to get me some campagnolo spare parts, > specifically, a 28.6 clamp to convert my 2003 chorus front derailleur > to 28.6 mm, and some other small brake parts.

The sales office of Campagnolo USA hasn't had parts in stock since they were in Houston, back in the 80s. There are a plenitude of distributors who cover the entire country with overnight or two-day service. Any one of them could drop a derailleur body in an express envelope for a couple of bucks on any given day. The handful of employees in California are there to service manufacturers and distributors. That facility wasn't set up as a parts house because their extensive distributor network does that job very well already. Third party? Your distributors order directly from Vicenza and send parts right to your dealer's door. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
