My ergo right side shiftier died in 2015. I tried to get a new shifter or parts for my old one. NO LUCK! they don't make or have any such item. Campy left me out in the cold! Fortunately my bike shop (Western Bikes of Portland Or.) was able to change it to 11sp triple with new chain rings. The cost was almost $500.00.

I also have a tourer with the Campy Record OR (!) offroad crank and believe it's not a useless crank!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172202953319134786.post-81652898316987972492012-04-17T05:48:44.357-07:002012-04-17T05:48:44.357-07:00I have three bikes all with campag triples, one of...I have three bikes all with campag triples, one of which has a bottom gear of 28t chainring with a 30t on the cassette.

With 11-29 11-speed cassette and 50-34 double chainrings the range is about the same. I switched in 2009, trying it with 10-speed Veloce bits. Verdict -- for hilly terrain with some flats, it's just fine. For flat with some hills I still prefer my old triple setups with 30-42-52 and a 13-26 cassette. Luckily Campagnolo supports their groupsets (8 & 9 speed cassettes can still be had!)long into their advanced age so I won't need to switch my bikes used on flatter routes for many years. I do wish they'd bring back some more polished alloy stuff too, nobody does that better than Vicenza!

I use a compact crankset on my racing bike, however, and would not use a triple on that since the weight does not change much. And I agree that there is nothing as classy as a Campagnolo alloy crank, far prettier than the ones with carbon.Sprocketboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00002657522696618715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172202953319134786.post-78103296197734510152009-12-23T09:28:17.265-08:002009-12-23T09:28:17.265-08:00Not certain about that.

I think the granny gear on a triple does have its place...<br /><br />On a separate issue... is there anything as classy as a Campagnolo alloy crank?<br /><br />Buon natale!Powerful Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456467783332176859noreply@blogger.com
