_Daemon_ Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Slowly upgrading my drivetrain to campy. If I buy a Campy chorus compact crankset, will it work with my shimano chain and shimano front mech?
AndreZA Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Why not wait till you have everything and then build it over in one go. Now you're gonna run a worn chain on a new chainring and later fit a new chain on "damaged" chain rings.
EdoardoBianchi Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 What Mampara said... But those cranks are way too beautiful to resist, right? Another alternative is to try & pick up a 2nd hand bike with Campag on, build everything you need over and flog the extra bike with the Shimano (good riddance...?). This way you get the really expensive stuff (rear mech, Ergo's, brakes) at a bargain price compared to buying seperately and you'll have an extra bike you can sell to recoup cost (or upgrade to Record - *wink*)Just check compatibility of BB (English/Italian thread) and front mech type (clamp-on vs braze on, althought the latter can fixed with a bracket). Either way, these are relatively low cost items. Good luck and welcome to the Campag camp...

Joss Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Deamon if you check out the Noticeboard i have a campy gruppo for sale at a bargain. I also have plenty campy spares lying around. PM me if you are iterested.

PM me if you are iterested. Yes I saw, but I want the new ultra-torque cranks etc. And still trying to between a normal double with 12-25 cassette or a compact with 11-21 cassette.
