A guide to bottom brackets. BB386 Evo for the XR2 is also listed. It apparently takes BB30 to the extreme. The description is too long to post here. http://m.bikeradar.com/gear/article/complete-guide-to-bottom-brackets-36660/

Pic might be a small but if you zoom on tablet or mobile you can see it. Try printing out if you can.

AFAIK the new Over-torque crankset is there to fit oversize BB30, 86 and 90 etc. In the past you had specific adapters to allow the use of Ultra torque with those BB's. I will post as soon as I find it a table listing all the Campy cranksets and the compatibility with various BB sizes. Good thing of the new Over-torque is there are specific BB cups to fit BSA threads as well.

Just in case there is a Tony Martin or Spartacus lurking inside you, Campy has the perfect crankset for you.

If only I had some spare cash lying around for some nice Delta's. Awesome collection Javadude.

Thanks for all the great posts guys. Post any new purchases, finds, pics and stuff for sale.

Campagnolo's new Over-torque technology for oversized BB's. Fits BSA thread as well. http://www.campagnolo.com/jsp/en/groupsetdetail/item_comp-ultra-crankstet-over-torque_catid_19.jsp

This on a 35th anniversary Colnago.

A 50th anniversary groupset was recently advertised on Ebay for $4900 , approximately R55000.

Apparently they did'nt but who cares.

In 2013 Campy celebrated its 80th anniversary with the release of a anniversary groupset.

Unlike other companies who have outsourced there production of components to the East , Campagnolo has opened a second factory in Romania, a short trip from Italy where quality control cam still be maitained. New components are still made in Vincenza and later outsourced to Romanian factory. All top end components however are still made in Italy. Campy concieved the brand Fulcrum manufacturing high end road wheels and recently moved in mountain biking wheels.

Knew I could count on Morpheus to contribute.

Delta internals.

Delta brakes, nothing is sexier. First introduced in 1986 as part of the C-Record groupset. http://www.campyonly.com/roadtests/delta.html

Best is to email or call JJcycling as they are agents. They should be able to tell you more of its compatible with any other wheels. www.jjcycling.co.za info@jjcycling.co.za

This thread is for everything Campy, old and new, pics and discussions. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tullio_Campagnolo Gentullio (Tullio) Campagnolo (26 August 1901 – 3 February 1983) was an Italian racing cyclist and inventor. He patented the quick release skewer and founded the Campagnolo bicycle component company. Campagnolo began his amateur cycling career in 1922. In 1930, he patented the quick-release skewer that became the standard for the industry, a design still used today. In 1933, the first quick release hubs were produced by Campagnolo. Also in 1933, he patented the sliding hub, dual seatstay rod-operated, back-pedal derailleur ultimately known as the Cambio Corsa. In 1949, he introduced the Gran Sport twin-cable, parallelogram rear derailleur at the Milan trade show, the first modern derailleur. Tullio Campagnolo was one of the greatest legends in bicycle component invention and manufacture. He was born in Vicenza, Italy in 1901 to a middle-class family and began his tinkering of inventions at his father's hardware store. He was an avid cyclist winning many races, such as Giro di Lombardia, Milan-San Remo and several Olympic heats. While racing through the Italian Dolomites on November 11, 1927 with freezing weather and snow, he lost the race victory due to a wing nut he could not remove to repair his flat tire. The title that Campagnolo sacrificed through the Croce D’ Aune Pass encouraged him to develop the quick release wheel locking mechanism. This quick release skewer, which is in use and famous today, enables a bicycle wheel to be removed and re-attached quickly and was the first of his many inventions from his father’s Vicenza workshop that he is well known for. Campagnolo was also an innovator in materials engineering for bicycle component design. In 1961, Campagnolo was the first to produce components using low-pressure magnesium casting and he used new aluminum alloys and titanium. In 1966 he patented the Campagnolo self-centering wine-bottle opener. Campagnolo died in 1983, just after the introduction of the Gruppo del Cinquantenario (50th anniversary Campagnolo groupset). Gruppo Number 0002 was presented to Pope John Paul II in a private audience for a delegation of Italian cycling enthusiasts later that year.

The OPQS master piece Specialists of the Tour of Qatar, especially on windy stages, the Omega Pharma Quickstep team managed one of the most impressive performances in the history of the race. With all 8 of their riders in the decisive break, with fifty kilometres to go, the Belgian squad went on to capture stage victory thanks to Tom Boonen, while his team mate Niki Terpstra kept his overall leader's Golden Jersey. The 152 riders of the Tour of Qatar gathered at the Al Sheehaniya Camel Race track for the start of stage 2. On the day's menu: 157.5 kilometres of riding all the way to the Al Khor Corniche and still a lot of wind. Despite several vain attempts, the pack remained bunched until the 13-kilometre mark when the strong men pushed harder and several groups spread apart. Up front: all the main favourites of the Tour. The front group of around 40 riders was finally caught and the pack bunched up together again at kilometre 22 when two men decided to take off: Gilbert (BMC) and Reijnen (UHC). After enjoying a 1'20 advantage, the escapees were caught at km 33. The first intermediate sprint (km 34.5) was claimed by Maes (OPQ) ahead of Golden Jersey Terpstra (OPQ) and Kruopis (OGE). At kilometre 89, Gatis Smukulis (KAT) tried his luck on his own. The Latvian saw his lead reach 2'20 at km 96. After a right turn and as the pack headed east, the wind again played an essential part in the day's stage and the Omega Pharma Quickstep made the best of it. Indeed after several Tinkoff-Saxo men pushed harder at the front, all eight riders of the Belgian squad managed to be in the front group as the pack broke up. At the front, 23 men took off and caught Smukulis at km 104. Other than the OPQS riders, the only others to survive were Popovych (TFR), Boom, Wagner (both BEL), Eisel, Rowe, Stannard (all SKY), Guarnieri (AST), Smukulis (KAT), Kruopis (OGE), Bennati, Breschel, Juul Jensen, Kroon and Morkov (TCS). While the second bonus sprint (at km 121.5) was claimed by Roelandts (LOT) ahead of Boonen (OPG) and Terpstra (OPQ), a first chasing group including Greipel (LOT), Gilbert (BMC) and Démare (FDJ) was 25” adrift. Further back, it looked to be all over for Fabian Cancellara (TFR), trapped behind a fall and stranded in a dropped group, 1'45 behind. With 20 kilometres to go, the leaders had a 35” lead over the first group and 3'10 over the Cancellara bunch. With the Omega Pharma-Quickstep and Belkin teams working perfectly together, the gap remained the same with 5 kilometres to go. Time had come to start considering stage victory. The first attempt came from both Wagner and Boom taking off just before the final straight but they were finally caught at the Red Flame. And there wasn't much to be done against Qatar master Tom Boonen. The Belgian 4-time winner of the event flew to his 21st stage win in the peninsula, beating Morkov and Roelandts to the line. Seventh of the stage, Niki Terpstra keeps command of his GC leader's Golden Jersey. The Dutchman now has a 5” lead over new Silver Jersey Roelandts and 14” over Boonen. Great Britain's Andrew Fenn becomes the new best young rider of the Tour and will be wearing the White Pearl jersey tomorrow for what should be a decisive time-trial for overall victory.
