    What Happened to Campagnolo?

    The worst crank I had was with Race Face Evolve crank, bent axle on the left side after two MTB rides . My dura ace 7700 and 7800 cranks are fine, I have one ST carbon crank with octalink that is fine too.

    What Happened to Campagnolo?

    A friend of mine has his since 10 years they didn't fail . If they do, I will buy spare Dura Ace 7700-7800 cranks in spare

    What Happened to Campagnolo?

    On a high end model like a Toyota Century or even a Lexus LS400 and LS430, it never happened. Shimano maybe found that forging cranks was too costly so switched to a more economical way of manufacturing cranks but not a better one.

    What Happened to Campagnolo?

    Well I prefer forged cranked over bonded ones that is why I stick to 7700 or 7800 crankset or fsa isis carbon crankset but never bonded ones

    What Happened to Campagnolo?

    The Specialized is a made in China carbon frame and the wheels probably too, the bonded Dura Ace crank has to tendancy fail. Exhorbitant price for a bike that is supposed of high quality but to me which is of questionable quality. I would personally rather have a very limited edition 50th...

    What Happened to Campagnolo?

    Well, for me I am staying out of the fashion of the 12speeds and 13 speeds groupsets with disc brakes which to me are pretty useless, uglier and of lower quality than was made before. I will stick withe very venerable Dura Ace 7800 groupset on all my race bikes which was short lived but of...

    What Happened to Campagnolo?

    Well Campagnolo has become a very arrogant company who makes very finicky products costing a fortune. If I had to buy a modern bike it would be with Dura Ace 9000 but with FSA carbon cranks and certainly not the bonded one that fails all the time. As for SRAM, I am not a fan of it but to each...

    What Happened to Campagnolo?

    That is very first time I am ever hearing this. I have raced back in the days in elite 3 category and at the time being people who used DA 7410 and DA 7700 dual pivot brakes never changed for brake calipers from Campy. Also the Dura Ace brake pads on Shimano were much better than the ones on...

    Tullio hated Shimano with a passion.

    What Happened to Campagnolo?

    Not really marketing , the STI and dual pivot brakes were innovation and it took a year later for Campy to catch with Ergopower and dual pivot brakes wich were pretty crappy. I have bb 7700 in my peugeot and never had a single issue with it despite many many miles on it. Had Dura Ace 7400 and...

    The unexpected purchase, the Myata Gentlux

    Indeed, the Full Pro Monocoque and the Full Pro Lux and the Road racer had this fork. Anyway this fork is heavy and make the bike frame weights over 3 kilos, so it will be changed by a full carbon one with a carbon steerer

    The unexpected purchase, the Myata Gentlux

    Well, no I have I will disagree with you, I have a Time Millenium carbon fork on my Peugeot Prestige made of Reynolds 708 Classic since 16 years it never snapped. It would be a different story with made in China carbon fork. I don't like dead weight on front when riding a road bike.

    The unexpected purchase, the Myata Gentlux

    Will very probably change the fork by a much lighter Reynolds Ouzo carbon fork since this one is quite heavy and will install a cane creek headset and a headset stem on it for reducing weight
