I got parts in to finish the hydraulis plumbing. But the bleeding kit contained the funnel with a tiny scew-in that was less than half of the size of 5 mm bleed cap screw on the lever. So I had to order another bleed kit with specific adapters.
On the Merak I received the 12 speed front deraoilleur and had problems installing it mostly because the limit scews were not marked high and low and I finally got tired and stopped working on it. All that is left now is to install the front inner.
Also the "super-light" braze-on adapter slips and eventually had to be greatly tightened rather than the recommended 5 n/m. My recommendation is to buy a Campy adapter if you're working on such a bike. The different in weight is only grams and the cost
of the Campy is $20 more. But it will not move when set to the proper tension.
rreds to me last night that I should simply set the front derailleur like the rear - by setting the limit screw for the outside and the inside and let the lever do the shifting since it only moves the front derailleur one shift at a time. This is the way
OI used to set them up but over the last couple of years, they have the limit screw mechanism hidden from view and I have been fiddling with them because I don't know what limit screw is what.
