Campag - mid reach brakes?
Does Campag make a mid reach brake for their 11 speed series? Or long reach?

no
TRP Tektro Velo Orange all do though and work fine.

Nope.
Could get these: https://bdopcycling.com/product/bdop...rs-pair-black/ to use with your Campag brakes. You'll need to change to Shimano compatible pads which isn't a bad thing. |

From memory, the last time Campag offered standard reach brakes (48/56) was 1985.
I spoke to a Campag rep about 10 years ago inquiring about their potential to introduce a brakeset to compete with Shimano's R650 brakeset that was popular at the time, and received the old saw that Campagnolo only makes racing equipment. Apparently long reach brakes were considered touring class equipment. Last edited by merckx; 08-27-2024 at 05:21 AM. |

One option
If your intent is just to use some slightly wider tires, current Chorus 12 speed brakes will accommodate some 700x32s. Not all. I’m happily running Veloflex now, but Rene Herse were just a tad too wide.

I want to throw a set of Chorus on a frame that’s designed around mid reach. If I’m not wrong, a standard set will have the pads clamping onto the tire?

You are correct.

I have the same dream. I have a beautiful Campy group and now need a cool 58cm mid-reach frameset to hang the stuff on. I won’t sell the SR calipers to buy Grand Crus or TRPs just yet, but that is the plan!

When did Shimano stop making the 650’s ?

I have bought some cheap ones in the past to try out and they worked fine. They come in different colors.

Of course there are plenty of other standard reach brakes from that era, and many of them are great quality. I got these for a project and while I am not using them with 30-something width tires, once installed the amount of clearance stood out. Just to find out I tried them with a 32 mm tire and there was plenty of clearance. Another nice feature of most of the calipers from that time period was that they almost always had a quick release on the calipers which makes wheel swapping with wider tires much easier. |
