Does anyone buy into that single pivot at the rear idea? I much prefer double dual pivots, feels like nothing at the back when you have a single there.
With something like a 70/30 split between front and rear braking, there's no need for the mechanical advantage of a dual pivot at the rear: the rear is supplementary to the front, rather than being a primary means of stopping the bike.
It's also easier to lock the rear up, than the front.
Just down to personal preference really: plenty of people don't crash and burn with a DP on the rear...

Thanks for that.
Strange departure from their usual marketing of Campagnolo heirarchy though.
