very good point - make sure you have the correct torque on your freehub and cassette stack. My experience comparing Campy and Shimano shifters is that Campy needs to be really tight on the cable clamp and then tightened further with the housing extension nut. Shimano is the opposite, working perfectly with just a gentle snug.
