A 44 or 46 outer to go with the 36 is my only wish. I'd race chorus in a heartbeat.

Campagnolo makes killer wheels. My Nucleons are the better part of a decade old at this point, get used a lot and when I lived in Grand Rapids, got used hard and often, and they are in great shape. They pretty much are hard to kill and they set the standard for wheel feel for me at least. I'd love to see a new Neutron tubular but I guess they want us to buy the Bora 35 or Hyperon, both of which look fantastic too. |

Disc Brakes That Are Fawned Over As Much As Their Hubs
From afar it's funny to see how so many romanticise Campganolo, the company. Hey, they got bills to pay and they will follow market trends and ride upon bandwagons to pay them.
Moving some production of the country, producing a disc brake system and giving special preview of said system is a hail marry to keep the company solvent and get on that OEM money stream. And I say good on 'em for it. Disc brakes will be in the Pro peleton, on television, in the magazines, online and in the stores. Campy needs to be in all of those places. My wish for Campy 2016? Bike makers have recently partnered with the auto makers for R&D and hype. Specialzed partnered with McLaren and Pinarello with Jaguar. I would like to see Campy partner with Brembo to make hydro disc brakes. Brembo makes automotive and motorcycle performance brakes and they are Italian to boot. The focal point would of course be the calipers. Campy and Brembo would make a beautiful caliper. For Super Record the carbon calipers would be Ferrari Red with black lettering. For Record the carbon calipers would be black with red/white lettering. For Chorus the carbon calipers would be black with white lettering. For Athena the aluminum calipers would be polished with black/white lettering. I like the wheels Campy has now except for the G3 lacing pattern on some models. Seems like the sweet spot for versatile carbon aero'ish wheels is 38 to 44mm, so my wish is for them to bring that without the G3 spoke pattern. For groupsets, the EPS system has had great reviews. The only way to improve on it would be to get rid of the wires and go wireless. It's a wish list, right? So, I would like to see wiresless shifiting. |

Wireless does nothing to make EPS or Di2 more reliable, better in any way. 4 batteries? Saw that spam charging station only holds one battery at a time(huh?) and levers use throw away watch batteries. Frames are already internal and both now. You won't see frames W/O any holes. Discs are coming, Campagnolo will have them, for good or ill. My guess with Formula, another Italian company who has already made/makes bike wet disc brakes. |
Hey, It's My Wish List
All post don't require a rebuke, especially when it's a "wish list".
Opinions other than yours will vary. Let it be. I got to try Campy at a local bike shop and found that I like the hoods better than Shimano. Shift buttons on the EPS Athena felt natural. If buying today I would get that groupset. |

Discuss why you would like wireless....or don't. MaxNix. |
Push For Inner Growth
I think there is more value in you in your experience sharing than in opinion battling.
You and many others here may be a good source for information for me when I have a frame built and need to buy kit to build it, no need for it to get awkward now. My last wish is that Campy does grow beyond the fervent fanbase that is emotionally tied to it and that it becomes more common at shops everywhere. There is only one shop around here that has a mech that has history, knowledge and enthusiasm about Campy. |

Post any info or links as it comes available
11 speed veloce
new lighter weight Record |
Quote:
I think Campagnolo might do OK to reduce their lineup actually and yes, make it all 11-speed. Maybe they only need 4 levels: Veloce/Athena/Chorus/Super Record. And simplify the wheel offerings. |
I would say they dont need veloce. Who is buying veloce anyways?

I think it's good if they keep making 10-speed replacement stuff like cassettes and even some shifters. |
