What Happened to Campagnolo?

[georges1]

We do get brought stuff that is broken, so failures are over-represented in my daily life, but isis wasn't very good, and a lot of glued up components reach a creaky end.

The shimano crank failures were glued, but they were also about the lightest and stiffest available.
Just didn't last well, but nothing lasts for ever.

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.

Have you bought a new car lately? I think I heard that (in USA) the average cost of a new car/truck is $49,000 and poised for a big tariff increase.

a new Toyota Corolla, you'd have to break down the bike etc.. is 26-29,000$ in the usa. Suv's Honda, Toyota are 50-55,000$ and you can stick the whole bike in. We have cheap Petrol though • relatively typing.

wireless Shimano 13spd XTR der. shown yesterday and it looks pretty much like an average der.

Campagnolo's model is abhorrent

New XTR with 11-12speed looks ugly and not as solid and reliable as the old one. Campagnolo line of products past 2005 look horrible, isn't reliable and is of mediocre quality.

Truth is:
It's not aimed at us any more.

So no wonder we think its ugly.

Works a lot better though
