Campagnolo H11 hacks and feedback

[NoMoreParagon]

Anybody riding the new H11 Disc gruppo?
Only thing holding me off is lack of medium cage RD option for EPS and 160mm front rotor size.
First problem has been coped by mounting a Potenza cage on the EPS RD. as far as switching to 140mm I am thinking of just using a spare rear caliper on front fork. Any recommendation? Thanks a lot

I’d recommend running a 160 on the front. The minor weight gain is far outweighed, I think, by superior stopping power.

Unless your fork is spec’d 140 only, that is.

I was told medium cage was available all the way through Super Record. Maybe that was for mechanical and not EPS.

Just waiting on brake adapter for post mount frame/forks. Or real life feedback that the Magura caliper solution is safe and reliable.

Yeah I had 160mm f/r on my previous ride. Have been running 140 f/r and more than enough stopping power even on long descends for my application.
Too bad campy is not set up for 140 front

Yeah unfortunately medium cage only for mechanical. ESP RD hasn't been updated since 2012 more or less...

I hear you... been waiting on the same but then I gave up. Hard to manufacture a proper pm to fm adapter unless the pm mount has deep enough attachment and you can somehow manufacture an adapter like the one below...not ideal but this is the closest approximation I could think of.

Disc brakes on race bikes are so weird.

I don't hardly know how to spell disc brakes, so this might be a dumb question, but looking at the above adapter... what would happen if you just used washers?

Or is there a part I can't see, or something?

Im the same but i would assume the caliper is screwed onto the adapter (where we can't see in that picture) and the adaptor is then screwed on to the post mount fittings which we can see.

Same cage, mechanical->EPS so a Potenza will work fine. ..Plus medium cage offered all the way up to SR for 2018..

If not offered in eps, you could always buy a potenza mech and gut the mid cage. Unless eps uses a differwnt cage but Indouvt it

Lionel, who posts here and had one of the first H11 groups shipped to the US, put a roadlink and a 11x36 cassette which worked well, not campu perfect, when we road for three days together. Check out post #805 for pictures

I love the bolt on axle with a carbon fork and a modified carbon trip spoke. Nice bodge up with the adaptor. I'd love to know who did this.

Skunkworks Bikes in AUS did a cage swap for a customer who was taking their bike to the Alps and needed a bit more range..

From what he described, it's a direct swap.
