Subject: [CR]weak "gear return" spring on Campy NR rear derailleur

hi gang,

I've got a Campy NR rear derailleur that doesn't have enough force to push the chain onto the small cog anymore. It doesn't seem to be a problem of gummy pivots. What are the odds that the spring is just old and weak? I've seen this listed as part number 98/A.

If this is the primary suspect, how hard is it to find a new one?

thanks!
