Alloy 11 speed compact cranket for Campy Ultra Torque

[hainy]

Is there such a thing? Trying to get some silver bits for my Lugged Robin Mather.

Isn't Athena Power Torque

(This matters to me, since I have a Cervelo frame with a BBRight bottom bracket, and there are no Power Torque cups for BBRight.)

You're going to have to scour eBay. You can find 'em there.

I've got a Centaur and an Athena in silver alloy UT, but as mentioned above, they're no longer in production with that system. Power Torque works well from what I've heard, and I was surprised when I weighed my Centaur UT with cups and found it actually weighed a bit more than a silver alloy Veloce with the PT cups.

And I think the Veloce looks OK, too… IMO.

The 1st 11's athena were ultra torque, no idea why they swapped to the new "buy a lot of tools" system :P

I had PT and hated it.

Why, if you don't mind?

FWIW, I've had a couple of issues with UT side-to-side slop and noises in the past.

It was constantly playing up and only one bike shop had the tools to work on it. Since I went to UT which was on my other bike no problems. Just purchased 2015 chorus for my BAUM. Not installed yet

Easy fix, a looot of lithium grease and use two wavy washers... done.

Or go to the rogue mechanic and get one of his shims. The guy was really under attack for saying that campagnolo screwed it up and he came with the solution blah blah. Personally I always use a lot but alot of grease and not all the time I use 2 washers, for some reason nobody can pin point it happens with some bikes and not in others.

Another detail. the wavy washers have like an anodized (have no idea what it is) covering, the thing goes bad and you will see 2 black marks in them, thats when a second washer will do the trick, reinforcement for the old washer, campagnolo all the time gets new revisions, the BBs changed color and they work differently too, the green ones are less prone to the problem but IMO was easier just to make a double or maybe a thicker more solid washer?.

NOT with PowerTorque and not necessary with UT either unless your BB shell is really undersized.

Last gen UT cups, the green ones, have been the standard for about 3 years now. The silver and gold ones are pretty much out of the system.

PT, have had one on my Merckx for a year with ZERO issues. Yup, I bought a puller, just like I did way back when in 1985, when I started mucking with bikes. Not rocket surgery. Too bad the guy got soured on PT cranks because the bike shop was inept(again).

As others have noted, any 10 speed level alloy group's crank will work fine as well. So Centaur, Veloce, etc.

All easy enough to find, all shift great with the 11 speed bits.

Velomine still getting UT from Campy close out in IT--received mine last month.

Euro Asia has alloy Centaur UT compact in 172.5 along with silver cups.
My LBS shot me a great price.
EA will only deal with shops.
