2)-Nope..130mm..A Campagnolo compatible hub that accepts 10s also accepts 11s(and 9s). 3)..lever longevity 'can' be an issue but I've seen 2011/2012 Athena groups with tons of miles w/o any issue. 4)-long time 5)-gearing depends entirely on you, your strengths and weaknesses, where you ride, etc...no one answer.

The only issue I see might be the front derailleur braze on being designed and positioned so you can adjust for crankset changes; standard, compact or (heaven forbid) a triple.

Is it possible that he would set the height of the front derailleur braze-on differently if you were using a 52 or 53 big ring as opposed to a compact?
I'm just guessing. edit: great minds etc

As for the front der brazeon tab..if it's put where it should be, it should be fine for a triple or a compact(50t big ring)...but MY suggestion is to get a clampon...takes the worry out of Fders, looks OK, much more adjustable.. Gearing is personal..tell us about you, where ya want to ride, type terrain, etc?? You'll get suggestions but what actually works is more trial and error.

Yep, it's the FD brazeon. Traditional brazeons have less adjustment range to accommodate a standard (53) vs. compact (48-50) large chainring.
There are brazens with a longer slot (20mm) that the builder can use to provide for switching from reg to compact down the road, should you wish. |

I have installed a LOT of compacts onto steel or other frames, with FD brazeon tabs and I have had to make the slot longer on only a VERY small minority..come to think ofit, most were TREK OCLVs, early gens..TREK started making a longer tab for this reason.

That's a question for your framebuilder. It's only an issue if the braze on doesn't have enough adjustment ability.

Or 'mid compact'..52/36 and that same 12-25 or 12-27(11s)....depending on where you ride. a 50/12 is still a very high gear...

Based on how you described yourself ("...no aspirations to become a professional racer" etc.) it doesn't sound like not being able to run a compact crank set would be a complete deal breaker.
Just use a regular one and if you get bitten by the bug enough and find out at some point down the road (pun intended) that you really "need" to go compact, decide on what to do. If that really turns out to be the case, you'll probably end up with more than one bike anyway so why not build this one the way you like it? |
