Warren van Rensburg Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Hi guys I'm looking for a cassette for my Somec. I'm currently running 52-42 up front and 12-21 in the back so I'm running out of gears on some of the steeper hills. I rode up to the Northclif tower this morning and was in serious need of some more gears. Anyone have something they're willing to part with?
Warren van Rensburg Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 What manufacturer and series you running?Campy Record from around '91
DJR Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Campy Record from around '91If you find any 8 speed campy cassettes with anything bigger than 21 teeth, let me know too, I have the same lack of legs issue.

Rolfalps Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 After hearing about the local L Eroica next year , I decided I needed a local retro ride . Found this cool Peugeot Classique yesterday . All original except for the brake levers . Needs some love , especially the paint which is quite badly damaged in places but excited about the project . Eppie, HeyYou, Kenty and 1 other 4

Loose cog Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Campy Record from around '91 If you find any 8 speed campy cassettes with anything bigger than 21 teeth, let me know too, I have the same lack of legs issue.I will check this afternoon and let you know. Found a larger 10spd cassette and also an old SRAM 8spd cassette
javadude Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 If you find any 8 speed campy cassettes with anything bigger than 21 teeth, let me know too, I have the same lack of legs issue. You can still buy new ones. I think 13-26 is the biggest you can go.
HeyYou Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) If you find any 8 speed campy cassettes with anything bigger than 21 teeth, let me know too, I have the same lack of legs issue. Beauty of Campag is that you can buy and fit individual cogs. Camag make up to a 31, I think, which you can buy directly from them. Miche make them too, but significantly cheaper, so you can make up your own 8 speed. The cogs are all the same thickness, as far as I know, it's the spacers that count. I have a couple of 8 speeds running up to 28, I need them!!!! Bought a 12 - 28 ... 10 speed the other day, bought it specifically for the 28 tooth. Edited October 29, 2015 by HeyYou
ren8gor Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Hey Guys, careful about rear derailleur cage length. Not all the old school derailleurs could handle the extended range...... HeyYou 1
