I guess nobody remembers DA 7 and 8s.....completely unique and not compatible with anything even w/i Shimano's lineup.

We should think about the fact that even at half price it is a damn expensive bike. We all become accustomed to thinking that $5000 is an entry-level Shimano 105 bike as manufacturers figured out that we'd just keep paying whatever price put on the high-end stuff.

They were certainly better than the Modolos they replaced! |

Every few years I see "Campagnolo is dying" articles and discussions such as this. I jumped into C with 11 spd after riding DA/Ultegra on 10. I'm definitely happy with it, my main bike is Record/Chorus mechanical. Campagnolo looks a lot like Schwinn - if you know the story of the grandkid genius who ruined that family business to become a cheese salesman. The 3rd generation destroys what the first 2 built up. I thought with Potenza they hit a perfect product balance but of course they had to bollox that up by doing another product discontinuity. Their crippleware and user hostile design ****s me to no end. BTW shifting systems shouldn't need cables or wireless - they should have electric conduits baked into the frame so you can just plug every component directly where its mounted. Same thing with hydro - have bundy tubes plumbed into the frame and couple with just a short flexible hose run. The RD should also not need a battery at all but be powered by a dynamo running off the jockey wheel. To hell with SRAM's patent thicket! How's that for innovation? |

I've seen hints on WW in the EPS battery thread that Campy has a hack available to their service centers to make Record batteries work with Chorus/Athena groups-suspect its a patch cable -might want to reach out. Necessary now b/c only new batteries available are Record/SR v3, and there's some controversy as they may have been in stock and not kept charged enough to stay alive. And Deltas aren't "that" hard to set up, the only rough part is the cable length as there's no room to cut it inside the caliper. 3.5 mm keys are now readily available, so no longer a roadblock. |

What’s this Campag 11 and 12-speed that I hear of, as I can only count 10 cogs on my cassettes…

Adjust with the brake lever 'open'..Pull cable tight, thru and past the 3.5mm fixing set screw, tighten. Then close the lever, pull on lever HARD to seat everything..then use your sharp and not big, cable cutters to cut cable flush with the bottom of the brake where the cable comes out.. And Bob's your father's brother...
