Has anybody used the ErgoBrain10 computer in conjunction with the Campy Ergo shift lever buttons. How do you like it - both the computer itself and the function selection on the shift levers? Thanks!

I've used them for the last 2 years on the summer bike and they're great.

It's nice to be able to cycle through the functions without taking your hands of the bars, and the gear indicator is really useful as well. It's also nice having a backlight if you need it! I've not used the programable timer yet (for interval training), but will give it a go in the spring.

My only gripe with it is the size of the sensors (a little large, esp. compared to the Sigma sensor on my winter bike). It can also look a bit clutered around the unit itself with all of the wires, but if you take the time to route them well, it shouldn't be an issue.

Have fun

I've used one for the past 3 seasons. The functionality from the levers, ie the buttons, is fine and the unit itself is satisfactory. The main numbers in the display could be a bit bigger and it's the display itself is rather busy but those are small complaints. The back lighting feature is excellent. As for the sensor size, they're small compared to the one used on the FliteDeck.

I've also used a FliteDeck for 4 seasons which has less functionality but works for my needs. In truth, I prefer the virtual cadence vs. attaching another sensor for that function.

My decision to go with them, Ergo and Flite, was primarily for the gear indicator so choices are limited to say the least.

Thanks to you both for the comments and evaluation - sounds encouraging.

Boneman - from reading the pdf owners manual for the ErgoBrain on Campy's website, it appears that at least the current version is capable of "virtural cadence". You just don't install the second sensor and program in the freewheel cog values. Not a big deal if you don't change freewheel clusters often. This is probably what I would probably do.

This is probably a dumb question, but is it correct to assume that the ErgoBrain only works with the Campy shift levers and the FliteDeck with Shimano shift levers?

I'll have to take a look.

The gear change indicators are dedicated to the levers. Since the buttons are just switches, as long as you changed the electrical connnection, ie into the mount for each respective computer, it should work. I will note that this is probably more trouble than it's worth.

I had an EB a few years ago from '00 to '02 and liked it for all the reasons described above. Only problems were getting the cadence sensor to detect properly, and the gear indicator would sometimes read incorrectly from gear to gear, and/or was too slow to change gears. With much fiddling to the cadence sensor, it would work but move it a mm. or two and it was off again.

Generally though it was a good unit.

I've had an Ergobrain on my bike for the last year and a half.

I'm a big fan. It's really nice.

Not worth the $$$, IMHO, but if cost is not an issue, go for it.
