Campy Disc Brakes...when do these arrive on the market

Does anyone know when the Campy disc brakes will arrive in shops? I've read the reviews, but could not find a discussion of the ETA in shops.

Officially this fall after the shows. So like September. I have a set on the way for a bike. I'll post pics when I get them in. I also have a new Potnza kit on the way. A FSA WE kit, Shimano R8000 Ultegra kit. And a Rotor ONE hydro shifting/braking kit too.

Centaur group

I am planning on buying a Centaur group when they are released to put on my Fierte IT. Should be good bang for the buck and great gearing for climbing.

Centaur is listed the end of July thru Q but that might be off by a couple weeks.

I was hesitant on it at first. But honestly, they have done an incredible job with it. It shifts beautifully. The shapes of the hoods and levers is perfect. The options are dialed.

Here's the breakdown:

The chain, it's made by a company who makes garage door chains and other heavy use/weight activities. So it's super solid, durable and long lasting.

The shifter/brake levers, there is a small and large hand size lever. So it'll fit everyone comfortably. The hoods had a great feel and the rubber used was nice and comfy and grippy without gloves.

ALL of the bolts, pivots and nut, ALL of them are stainless steel or titanium. NO CORROSION!!! That's a massive massive plus in my book!

The brake calipers, they use a reversible bolt. So the center pivot bolt can be switched from a short reach to long reach all in one caliper. Super cool option.

They will have everything small parts wise and they are totally serviceable. Again, massive plus! The little paddles on the shifters, the pivots, everything is gonna be available.


At the end of NAHBS, honestly, I couldn't think of anything bad about the kit. The shifting was super clean and crisp. Set up was easy and took like 2 minutes total to get the derailleurs dialed in and I didn't need a laptop.

I'm not 100% sure what happened at Sea Otter. I know they had two stands with the kit in it. I guess Matt went to one of them and no one like tech guys was there to help and something happened that killed the test of it. It supposedly was flawless up till then at booth tents. In the end it is what it is. And we ended up switching to the Rotor ONE kit.

FSA wanted a frame for the NAHBS booth and we offered one up which is how we got on it. Calfee, us, No22, CoMotion and one other had bikes of varying material. Ours was the full ti. 22 had a ti carbon. Calfee was carbon lugged. Someone had carbon tube to tube and CoMotion had a steel frame. So they had a nice mix of frames and materials there. Glad we got to be a part of it and got to play with it backstage more. Really liked it.

Not sure who they're getting their kits thru, but QBP doesn't show anything till next month and I get my stuff straight from Campagnolo USA/Italy as an OEM Builder. And Q is the norm for bike shops for parts. Curious who they're getting stuff thru/from?

Yeah, they did. I have a frame waiting for a kit. Q is showing 7/18 but who knows if that'll be real.

hmmm, well for me the good news is my inbound frame is still a ways out, but delay doesn't work to SRAM's favor with all these other options coming to market!
