Advice on Campagnolo experienced mechanic in FL
Is there anyone in this forum from FL that knows of a very experienced and good mechanic that is knowledgeable when it comes to working on Campagnolo equipment? Please recommend them regardless of location. May PM me if prefer.
While I do work on my own bikes and have installed and mantained/tune all of my Campy parts, I am not as patient when it comes to properly tuning and setting a rear deraileur. I get it to 90-95% of perfect as I find it tedious. I wouldn't mind handing this task to someone that seriously know how make it 100%. Front has never being an issue for me, but the rear is. Would love to find that guy/gal where I could drop off 3 bikes and let them make music wit it.
Anyone?

Yes, I know and have looked at it. As outdated as it gets and no reflection on current skills. Most of those shops mentioned are simply sellers and not necessarily providers of mechanical skills.
I want word of mouth based on real experience!! Location is irrelevant!!!

Less than perfect rear shifting may have nothing to do with adjustment skills. Bikes with internally routed cables can have more cable friction that makes it impossible to get all perfect shifts from the larger sprockets to smaller ones. If the shifts from smaller sprockets to larger sprockets Uusing the finger lever) seems perfect, but the shifts to smaller cogs are not, then cable friction can be the culprit. Setting the cable tension as low as possible while still having good shifts to larger sprockets is about all you you can do. Cable routing can also be an issue. Campy levers have two options for routing the cable out of the shifter. One may work better than the other, but it's a lot of work to do back and forth to see which works better.

Jeff at champion cycling in Jacksonville....he did build 3 bikes with campy super record groups for me over the years
