  1. Does anyone have the outside part of the front derailleur cage for Campagnolo Super Record pre 2015 for me to buy? It seems like an easy part to replace without needing a whole new front derailleur. Hubby has done a temporary fix with a hot melt glue gun, but I don't think the Campi gods will let that fly for much longer.
  2. This topic has been covered often, usually with similar solutions. I must be missing something... hoping someone can tell me what else to try. Chain slip in smallest sprocket (11T) at power (>500w), obviously worse with small chain ring, but also happens in big chain ring. Brand new Campagnolo Record 12s chain, like new Super Record Cassette and Record RD on low millage Bora Ultra wheels and freehub. Nothing is worn out. Chain is the right length, not stretched (new) and the tension is good. I straightened the derailleur hanger, moved the limits and re-indexed (it is so perfectly sweet). Only started after I changed from SRAM 12s to new Campy 12s chain. [SRAM 12s chains run quieter over Campy teeth than Campy chains...] I did also re-grease the free-hub. Can a freehub slip and sound/feel like chain slip? Also set the B-screw tension to as close as possible (to engage more of the sprocket teeth). The cassette lock ring is at the required 40Nm and the freehub nut is clean and fits flush. What else should I try? Any input will be highly appreciated. Charl
  3. Hi all, I'm looking for a vintage NOS NIB Campagnolo Athena front mech / derailleur, I broke the clamps back brackets trying to force the issue. This goes on my beloved '87 De l'ange Rob
  4. Campagnolo have revealed all the details of their new 1x13 gravel-specific groupset named Ekar. It aims to meet the demands of gravel riding with a wide gear range, the simplicity of 1x and reliability without a weight penalty. Click here to view the article
  5. So, I have a pair of Fulcrum Racing Zero Nite wheels that I've been riding since December. Fantastic wheels. However, I have had constant issues with noisy brakes. I have replaced the brake pads which had worn down very quickly with the recommended Blue Campagnolo pads. The brake pads squeal like a Vuvuzela as soon as they start to grip. I have cleaned and adjusted them multiple times, but to no avail. Please help!!!
  6. I have posted a review on my first gravel Colnago on the forum a few years back but the bike was a Cyclocross frame designed with only thing in mind: getting Sven Nuys around world cup courses as quickly [and uncomfortably] as possible. The frame broke and the friendly people at Santam provided me with the option of an upgrade. As luck would have it, Campagnolo launched their Hydraulic groupsets at the same time - providing me with the opportunity to fix the other major gripe i had with the old bike: ornamental brakes. Before i bore you with details i think its important to give credit where it is due: i imported my first Colnago from abroad and this one was bought from the local distributor [Alpine Sports]. The price was comparable to the imported one and the service is out of this world. Mark Nel delivered the frame to my work and when i developed a problem with it, he gave me a selection of his own bikes to ride while the problem was sorted out. It would be silly to use anybody else imho. Frame:Colnago prestige monocoque carbon.Internal cable routing enabled a crucial improvement over the old bike: i can run a full length cable housing from shifter to derailleur which solved the problem of dust/mud affecting my shifting. frame designed to take UCI legal 33mm tires but i can safely run a 40mm front and 38mm at the back [provided wheels are stiff].sloping frame enabled long 27mm seatpost which has HUGE flex so comfort is vastly improved over old bike.Groupsetminimal thinking went into this: Campagnolo has two levels of hydraulic disc brakes and i went for carbon...because it is so pretty.Stages crank arm power meter gearing is an issue: go as light as you can for off road climbing. 50/34 crank and 11-29 cassette but with my medium cage derailleur i can also put on 11-32 if i need to Wheels: you are a bit limited with Campag cassettes and disc brakes at this stage but i intend abusing the wheels a bit and up to now the Zonda set i have has been very impressive: not the lightest but serviceable hubs, super stiff and has taken some very rough terrain in their stride.Tires: after trying quite a few i have settled on Schwalbe G-one for now. Not the most durable but very good in all other respects.PS- gravels bikes are not better than a hard-tail 29er on bad surfaces. in my opinion it is the versatility as a road bike that I need. So with road wheels it becomes a proper road bike:
  7. Campag are trying to bring 12 speed to the masses by trickling it down to Chorus level, and they now appear to have embraced gravel and adventure riding with a 48/32 chainset and 11-34t cassette option https://road.cc/content/tech-news/259702-campagnolo-chorus-12-speed-groupset-launched-lower-price-points-and-smaller
  8. I found this classic in a storage unit at a retirement village (don't ask what I was doing there). Fixed it up, serviced hubs, derailleurs, headset etc. Removed all the rust and put it back together. All the parts are still original, except the chain, which was rusted beyond saving and the spokes. Specs are as follows: Frame: Du Toit Columbus 531 Fork/Headset: Du Toit Columbus 531 Pedals: Gipiemme Dual Sprint Derailleurs/Shifters: Campagnolo 980 6 speed Handlebars/Stem: Fiamme Dallas/ Cinelli Quill Saddle/Seatpost: Selle Italia Anatomica Brakes: Modolo Speedy Gold Front Wheel/Hub/Tire: Mavic GP4/ Campagnolo 980 Rear Wheel/Hub/Tire: Mavic GP4/ Campagnolo 980 If anyone's interested, Here's my modest collection: https://www.pedalroom.com/members/MrFocus
  9. Hi, I have a 54cm Colnago C40 Art Decor with a Campagnolo groupset. (similar to the attached image). I am considering selling as I feel it is time for something a little more contemporary. Don't get me wrong - it's a fantastic bike. Just time to move on... If I Google the approximate value, I see people have listed theirs from between R8,000 and up to R32,000! That is a massive difference. So my fellow BikeHubers - could those more clued-up than me possibly provide some insight here? I'm a newb so any guidance would be appreciated. Ta,
  10. Hi guys As you can see by the title of this post I'm new to all of this, so please have pity if I'm posting in the wrong thread / section!. But to my question (which may require a bit of background info): Until June this year I was living in Little South Africa, SW London. One night after a couple of beers, and without one of us actually owning a bike, my brother in law, a mate and I decided to tackle the London – Paris ride. Subsequently we all bought MTB's (can't recall the reasoning behind deciding on MTB's...), panniers and helmets and set off two weeks later. We suffered. Badly. But we, nevertheless, drank the cool aid and felt converted. Back in Wimbledon we all sold our MTB's and got road bikes. Mine was a Planet X Superlight Pro Carbon. Come June, a good opportunity opened up for me to come back to SA and the bike came with, albeit 3 months later. I have been toying with the idea of selling the bike (1) because I think it's a smidgen too small for me, and (2) there's a VERY attractive bike I saw advertised on here (to avoid attracting unwanted attention to it, i'l leave it unnamed!) that will require a bit – quite a lot – of supplementary funding. Problem is that I'm not too sure what a fair price for mine would be here in SA. The specs are as follows: Frame: Full carbon Superlight Pro Carbon Groupset: Campagnolo Centaur ten speed (the brake levers look like they are carbon wrapped) Fork: Black Magic carbon fork Seat post: Easton EC90 carbon Saddle: Selle Italia Thoork Test saddle Wheels: Campagnolo Khamsim (front), Bianchi Reparto Corse (back) Tyres: Hutchinson Fusion 3 (pretty brand new) Thanks in advance!
  11. Got these wheels from a mate, however, both front and back rims are badly damaged. What rims can I use to rebuild these wheels so that they would be usable. Don't care about weight. Any suggestions would be helpful. They are 16 spokes at front and 21 at the back.
  12. Hi Guys Im looking at possibly spending R10k on a wheelset for my road bike, depending on what the insurance pay out. It will be replacing my Mavic Ksyrium SSC SL wheels. Ill use the wheels everyday, training and racing. Ive do also have a set of 45mm carbon rims still waiting for hubs which will eventually be just for racing. I was thinking of getting a cheaper wheelset and the hubs with the change perhaps. Looking at getting Hope RS Mono hubs, DT 240s is slightly outa budget. The training/wheels need to be fit and forget type setup. Fulcrum racing 3 Mavic Ksyrium Elite Mavic Cosmic Campag Zonda American 420 Shimano RS81 HELP!
  13. Hello all hubbers, Just hoping someone can give some more information regarding year and value. I know it is from the early to mid 1990's. Also if it is worth getting restored. And what value it might hold, not that I intend to sell but the frame is sadly a little big for me. Any information will be most appreciated. And I will try include a few more photos when behind a computer again. Thanks.
  14. I had the wonderful luck of getting picking up a Lynskey R240 Custom racer built up with a pretty cool mix of Campagnolo 10 speed components. http://mudcakedface.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/LynskeyBefore1-768x1024.jpg Having run her pretty much as-bought for the better part of two years, something started itching when the shifters were commandeered to do duty on my Mercer CX-tourer (build here). I changed a couple of small items: Adding leather bar tape (complete with champagne corks as plugs) and a Brooks Swallow saddle. http://mudcakedface.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/LynskeyBefore2-768x1024.jpg While I loved the colour (candy apply red), I wasn't too fond of the decals (like the "Lynskey Custom" you can see here). Also, I managed to chip the paint on the top tube through sheer carelessness (yep, leaning her against a street light on a gradient, sob, sob). I've also discovered that painted Titanium is pretty chip prone in general: several smalls spots around the BB area, as well as the cable guides on the down tube losing some paint. This all pointed to a new paint job to fix the chips, change the decals and get a more classic look. A re-occurring theme I hope to never cure of... I stripped the frame and fork of all components and dispatched same to a frame painter rumoured to be the best in the country...One Anton of Bogus Designs (check his Instagram handle here). On cleaning up the parts, I discovered the headset cups were pitted pretty badly: http://mudcakedface.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/BearingCups-768x1024.jpg Ah well, Chris King to the rescue... Also, the current bar, stem and seat post aren't matching and likely not quite suitable to where I want to go with this bad boy. Some time to ponder this direction...
  15. I think disc brakes for road bikes are here to stay so when i recently bought my new CX bike , i went for this option. problem is that in my 30yrs of racing bikes, i have come to trust Campagnolo over other manufacturers, but they do not have a disc brake system. there is a lot of talk and rumours but nothing i trust. i therefore decided to stick to the mechanical set-up with Chorus Ergolevers and use TRP Spyre SLC calipers. It did not work. at all. you grab the levers and pull them all the way to the bars and the bike continued unhindered and no amount of adjustment could fix it. option 1: Campagnolo should bring out a hydraulic setup either late this year or early next year. if they do not want to be left behind. chances are that it will be linked to an electric shifting system which will probably be very expensive. and i do not want electrical shifting because i dont see it as an advantage.option 2: switch to another brand of components. you have a choice between made in Japan or made in China.....no thanksoption 3: change it for a hybrid mechanical/hydro system like SRAM or Hope V-twin. i think this will definitely work but is quite expensive [about R5000] and bulky for what i think should be a medium term fixoption 4: try a cheap fixi swapped the pads for Shimano ones which made them stop a lot better but the feel was still very damped/indirectproblem is that brake cable housings are compressible and when you pull with this such force, a lot of the force ends up compressing the cable housing. so i ordered non-compressible cables from Jagwire and the problem is solved! non-compressible housing is essentially made the same way as shifting cable housing in that the main structure is provided by longitudinal wires with a mesh outside them to keep them from popping out. This as opposed to brake housing which has a helical wire which can be compressed. i now have a set-up that i will gladly keep using until Campag brings out a better solution
  16. On February 2015 I bought a very nice bicycle from Epicbikeshop, before purchasing it I had a long conversation with them through emails about what I was going to buy and they assured me many times (got written emails) that once I would leave South Africa i was going to get the VAT back. In April I left Cape Town and one week before leaving I again asked them if the invoice was fine and if I needed anything else in order to get the money back. They told me i just had to bring the Invoice with the bicycle and they would give me the money back. The day I left I went earlier to the airport just in case something would go wrong. When I went to the VAT Refund office the person working there checked the bicycle and when she took a look at the invoice she told me that the VAT number of the store was missing from the letter. If I wanted to get the VAT back I had to provide them with a proper invoice. Then she actually called them and asked them to send a proper invoice with the VAT number on it, she also told them that if they charged me the VAT without having it registered they had to refund me the money. They assured her that they were going to send a proper invoice right away since we were waiting at the airport for this but after 30-40 minutes it still didn't happen. I called them again because I was in rush and they finally sent it on my email. I went to print it and when the worker at the airport checked the invoice with the VAT on it, it showed on the system that the VAT was not registered! So she told me to leave her all my information and in case the VAT was good they would inspect it and send me a debit card on my home address. I had to leave to catch my flight. In July 2015 I finally get a mail from the South African Tax department saying that the VAT of the vendor has been excluded from Export Incentive Scheme therefore unable to process my claim! I called the Epic Bike Shop and they told me that they are going to find a solution with the VAT and that they will give me back the money. Spoke with them a few weeks ago and they told me that the new VAT is still in process. Is this something that often happens in South Africa? I really don't want to lose the money, they have to give me back my money for the VAT that I paid. What can I do about it? I would really appreciate any suggestions,
  17. Hi all. I have a decision to make between keeping a 2011 Campagnolo Record 10-speed groupset on my bike, or to do a groupset switch to a 2012 Campagnolo Chorus 11-speed groupset. Which one of the above should I opt for? And why? Both groupsets are still in "like new" condition, and both groupsets are full carbon. Please share your thoughts. RJ.
  18. I just bought a new bike, without wheels, and want to use my old Shimano RS10 wheelset on the bike. Campagnolo groupo means new freebody, and being 11spd would have meant a new Shimano freebody - either way, it's now about which works out cheaper. QUestion is, where can I find a freebody for a Campagnolo cassette with the flower type formation of a Shimano freebody, which is 11spd compatible?
