quintonb Posted May 23, 2014 Share Disappointed they didn't stay true to their classic/classy roots.Just means the "old, classic" look group-sets will be worth more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javadude Posted May 24, 2014 Share No no no Campagnolo, if I want ugly, or functional, I'll buy Dura Ace. I buy Campagnolo because I want to look at my bike and say "wow, you're hot!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bianchisti Posted May 24, 2014 Share Yes Cippo. I'm on a compact. Are there any complications when changing chainrings? Like 50 to a 53? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cippo Posted May 24, 2014 Share Yes Cippo. I'm on a compact. Are there any complications when changing chainrings? Like 50 to a 53? I would stick to an 11-23 on a compact which should suffice for most climbing. If you really struggle with climbs then an 11-25. Switching to a standard crank I would go with an 11-25 which is more than ample. A nice ratio to have for those really hilly courses is a 12-27. I was on a compact and just could not find that sweet spot with the gears. Ratios for Campy cassettes, 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,21,23.11,12,13,14,15,16,17,19,21,23,25.12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,21,23,25.12,13,14,15,16,17,19,21,23,25,27. You can change a 12-27 to a 12-29 by replacing the rear 3 cogs as the front set are the same. Edited May 24, 2014 by Cippo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bianchisti Posted May 24, 2014 Share My problem is the 50/11 gear. Feels like I'm running out of gears in a fast flat sprint. Can I change the chainrings on the cranks without consequence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javadude Posted May 24, 2014 Share My problem is the 50/11 gear. Feels like I'm running out of gears in a fast flat sprint. Can I change the chainrings on the cranks without consequence? You can get aftermarket 52/53 chainrings for compact cranks. Not cheap though: http://www.totalcycling.com/en/TA-Nerius-Outer-Chainring-For-Campagnolo-11sp-Compact---110-BCD/m-19367.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They give you a larger chainring effectively with same number of teeth. Evobikes stock the Rotor's. Chat to Naas about options. I find Bike24 to be consistently cheaper than Totalcycling.

LOOK695 Posted May 27, 2014 Share New Campy groupset. Seems that components are not compatible with the previous groupsets. And the controversial looking crank, works with any combination of chain rings, so no need to change the crank if you want a compact set-up Edited May 27, 2014 by LOOK695 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie Posted May 27, 2014 Share Some thoughts:I wonder how the numbers look in terms of weight, for the gruppo and crank in particular. Ugly it may be, but if it is light and stiff, people will buy. Campy cranks have become expensive to the point where they compare with high end cranks from THM, AX-Lightness etc. Some may rather go that route. Both companies probably read the same research paper on crank optimization, and Shimano was just faster to put its crank on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
