Dear ? Wyndham ___?

While I sympathize with your trying to get that Campagnolo Syncro to operate, a number of points need to be communicated here:

- Synchro 2 (and 1) are off topic. Please follow the CR time line (pre-1983 only)

- Synchro 1 & 2 dealt a huge blow to Campagnolos prestige and sales as it was terrible. It doesn't work well in the best of circumstances and is unreliable.

- Your message sign off is inadequate ..."Sign off all messages with your first & last name, and your city, state & country."

My most 'modern' bike is an Indurain era Pinarello. I have always used friction gear levers but have just got hold of some Synchro 2 levers, to be used with a Campangnolo 8 speed cassette.

I'm trying to work out how the Synchro levers work. I know they could work with 6, 7 or 8 speeds, but not how they are set up for the different speeds.

I would be grateful for any advice, or for pointers to an Internet source of information.

Many thanks,
