Super Record S

Do the cranks stay in one piece and retain the chainrings?

I think that's the bar for a groupset to be considered as an alternative to Shimano right now.

I had like my 4th incident this season with Shimano cranks today, this time with the brand new D/A cranks I bought to replace the recalled cranks they said were "OK".

:shrugs:

To be fair, I'm pretty sure they were talking about the northeast of England.

Ha -- I guess ya gotta pay a premium if you want that added functionality.

I’ve mostly settled on Shimano, but watching those dinks on the video made me want to run out and buy SR.

Maybe I’ll let them know in the comments that (I) Campy/Fulcrum wheels are exceptional, (II) that’s not where you place the lever on a modern handlebar, and (iii) [deleted, not constructive].

LOL I had that reaction too.

I started with Campagnolo in 1984 and have used almost nothing else since then. Still do. I’m very fortunate in that I could stretch to Super Record WRL if I chose to. With each passing season racing being potentially my last, and being well back in the field I’ve chosen not to so far.

For as long as giving groupsets to YouTubers and influencers, whatever they are, passes for marketing that’ll remain the case. The only marketing I want to see from Campagnolo is supporting men’s and women’s World Tour teams, on the road at least. It’s about credibility and the refinement and continuous improvement that such exposure brings.
