Campagnolo Centaur Left Shifting lever problem

[lady....@mutants.com]

Hi,

Centaur 2012 so almost new...

It works but it is so loose that even on smallest bump lever hits brake
lever which cause annoying noise of course. [There is no such a problem
with right lever BTW.]

Any suggestion how to fix?

There's supposed to be a rubber bit in the back of the brake lever blade
to keep the shift lever from rattling against it. That /may/ be your
problem, though it sounds like something may be coming loose as well.

Here's a link to an ebay page on the rubber bit:

know which models this bit fits, but it should give you an idea what to
look for.

Have you tried turning it off and on again? ;-)

Wrap an elastic band, or suitable sized O-ring, around the brake lever
in the meantime.
