Yes, I believe he did. From memory some of the extra weight (not that there was a lot of it) was also because the cranks were not fluted wheras IIRC, at the time SR were ... I may be wrong. It's been a long time ... :-D

Same applies - the caliper arms are interleaved, so that if you take the axial centre point of the pivot for both arms, it's in the same perpenicular-to-the-mountings plane.

The advanage of the QR on the lever is that if the brake is left "un-set", i.e. "released" the bite point of the brake relative to the bars is unchanged. You don't see it now because of disc brake but at one time you'd see riders either reach behind at the bottom of a climb to flick the QR off...

It actually refers to where the centre lines of brake calipers arm are, in plan view. If you look at the Monoplanar brakes, where the two "halves" of the caliper are interleaved, you'll see that the brake-blocks are exactly aligned across the width of the rim and both are "stepped", in plan...

Apples with apples, though. Shimano cycles division turnover 2023 was $2.31bn On the Campag side, the number you give doesn't include Fulcrum, or any of the other businesses owned by the family. T/O in 2023 in the cycles division (inc Fulcrum) was closer to $200m - Campag don't publish a hard...

Timelines: In 2015, the 4 arm crankset (actually a logical route to fixing a problem with front derailleur precision with large chainring to chainring tooth number (in terms of percentage) differences was launched. It was needed in 11s for better shifting at high applied torques anyway - hence...

In certain markets, the polished alloy groups sold - but not in every market - Centaur 11 is still in the range but in black only - ditto Veloce 10s. In terms of manufacture, it's the same capacity drain at the factory - polish and black anodise, polish and clear anodise ... so why change...

Cofidis - Men's and Womens teams, too - 4 year deal.

Winged wheel is both on the hubs and the shield logo, incorporating the winged wheel at the valve on the current ranges ... And, of course, the winged wheel is on Ghibi, where it's pretty obvious ... Some ranges the customer reaction has been polled via sales and we've seen the strongest...

Well, Campagnolo posted record profitability in 2020, 21 and 22 - 23 and 24 have been tougher, admittedly - that's a global issue and in the face of simply ridiculous pricing by competitors who have a massive over-production to cope with ... but what many don't really "get" is that as a family...

Those "nobody's" BTW bought every scrap of Ekar that Campag could make in 2020, 21 and into 22 ...

There's a few posts that actually nicely encompass Campagnolo's dilemma here: 9s polished alloy, how many would they sell? Good question. It's not just about opportunity, it's about opportunity cost. How much of their current production would they have to cancel or put on hold or, how much...

Anodised alloy. Like Shiamno. And SRAM. And Campagnolo back in the day, along with Rino, Galli, Ofmega and all of those other brands ...

And ... it's interesting that the thread leads on "what happened to Campagnolo" rather than, an equally contentious-for-some "How is it that no one at SRAM has ever had any aesthetic sense" or "Why is Shimano now so hideous" because a lot of Shimano's 1990s output was visully very pleasing to...

I know this is an old thread but posts on the Internet never die ... The deeper splines on the campagnolo cassette bodies post 1999 where put in place in part to combat the tendency of sprockets to dig into the alloy of the cassette bearing - however, IME, provided the cassette lockring is...

Centaur was made for either a symmetrical 111mm (28.6mm seat tube) or 115.5mm (32 or 35mm seat tube) ISO taper. 121-125 seems on the long side and might impact on good chainline (generally recommeded at 43.5mm +/- 0.5mm) with a 130mm rear end spacing in a "double" system, 45.5 +/-0.5 mm in a...

Yes, I'd forgotten that these versions of the hub predate G3. Sorry! Shamal had been built both ways. Early ones were not G3. Proton, Nucleon and (original) Hyperon where not G3. Current Hyperons (a completely different kettle of fish) are. So ... you should be fine on any 24h rim of...

The rims are c13 so within the ETRTO recommended limits to mount a 25c tyre - OK, it will "lightbulb" a bit (23c is a better match) but it's widely - forgive the pun - done. 28c is not recommended. Building different rims to the hubs is do-able but it's not as straightforward as it first...

They did a huge range of mods to Campagnolo ... some were quite beautiful, some not so much :-D

Yes, entirely possible. They do specials, as I say - sometimes, they end up doing short runs (i.e. they do some Bora WTO wheels with just the "shield" logo at the valve, for one OEM), sometimes not.
