SuperDooperSnooper Posted December 23, 2016 Posted December 23, 2016 I'll definitely give them a chance and try it out. Seems innovative, I'm curious how the lateral down-shift feels.
Malpiet Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 Yes, and also, Campa is suuuuper reliable, but you can't order individual parts as far as I know, only in kits That 'special' tool you couldn't find, it's called a flat screwdriver. Been there, done that Tried a flat screw drive intially but it was slipping, do you know if the bolt is left or right threaded?
Kalahari Vegmot Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 Tried a flat screw drive intially but it was slipping, do you know if the bolt is left or right threaded?Mine had a circlip, that, once removed, allowed the fixing bolt and spring assembly to pop right out. The threads of the bolt did not have anything to do with the removal process. However, I will never take it apart again, except if it's problematic, because, once it's out, it needs to be put back together, and that requires you to hold the spring in place and insert the circlip. This turned out to be a two man job, and my derailer ended up with a good few scratches in the process...
The Crazy German Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 Just out of curiosity, Would you put your hard earned Randollas down to buy a drivetrain from a company other than Shimano or SRAM? My main roadbikes are campagnolo , my main mountainbike has a Rohloff drivetrain(though since like two days with SRAM cranks. Shitmano and SRAM ar for my more crappy bikes

I would NEVER, ever, ever, touch parts of 11sp Campa that does not give problems.If only for risk of scratching.

Good on you:-)
PhilipV Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Having seen the Box components and rode it in a parking lot, I'd love to have it in my bike. If you want your mate's XTR bike to look bland, get a Box drivetrain. Eendag as ek groot is....

PhilipV Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 So it's compareable to XTR? It's not that much more expensive than an XT 11sp shifter evnI can't comment on where it slots in, and a parking lot test was to short to really tell on its quality. It's definitely prettier than xtr. (Maar een man se lelik is 'n ander man se vrou)
Kalahari Vegmot Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Hmmmmmmm. It will be interesting to see what level it is intended to compete at, I would guess that it will at least be compareable to XT, but only time will tell. Does anybody know where it can be test ridden?
mtb impi Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Yes!Why not?"Boutique" manufacturers produce high spec quality (sometimes to fill a specific need). Lots of R&D goes into what these companies bring to the market, quite often setting the trend and pace.The conservative and traditional will for ever stay with the familiar. Nothing wrong with it. Just boring.
