About time. I’d assume no problems running it in an 11 spd setup? I’ve been eyeing the Praxis M30 subcompact. I’ll probably end up with the Praxis anyway since the Campy one is likely to be $$$$. Still, it’s nice to see a major player come in with a subcompact.

If 1 jumps off the bridge they all will so I expect Subcompact to be available from Shimano and Sram shortly after campy announces.

At least with their new 12s, SRAM's got 50-37, 48-35 and 46-33t.

Thought the new rear ders were clutch.

Now convince Campy that a 13-32 is a nice cassette.
Old guys don't go much past 30mph in the flats. Sugino has their new OX2-901D cranks, just think you can choose chain rings, just like you choose stem length. |

Thanks for putting put out the intel, Peter.
I know you said this was a niche kinda thing. But it does look like that little niche is growing. Campagnolo is wise to get in on the growth area. Euro gravel is fertile. |

Sometimes Campagnolo is pathetic. I made an inquiry some time ago about including 57mm reach calipers in their product range. They responded by saying, "no, no, no, we are a road racing component manufacturer. We don't make touring components." And now they step forward with their proverbial tail between their legs.
They need a significant dope-slap. The sport of cycling is fluid, and is changing quickly. Make components that are relevant. Last edited by merckx; 03-23-2019 at 06:15 PM. |

Campagnolo lost its way in the early 1990s. When the brand finally realized this, it lost its way forever by trying to go toe to toe with its competitors. Leaders lead, they don't follow. Sadly, after Tullio died, the suits in Vicenza forgot this.

I agree with all of this, but I would put the apocalypse at 1984.

I don't gamble, but I'm pretty comfortable betting there will be an 11-34 Chorus cassette that you can mate to a 32-48 crankset. If a 32-34 isn't small enough, the hill is too steep to be riding up anyway.

Campag used only a 13t top cog on many of their cassettes, so it's not like they always go for the tallest gearing. If they are two teeth behind the competition on max cog size, it's not likely a deal-breaker for their traditional customers(?). |
