• You're quite right. After I read the above I dug out the instructions for the cassette (which included both types, and which naturally I ignored), and Veloce spacer order is just as complicated as Record, but in a different way of course. Naturally, I then had to take apart my new cassette and rebuild it as per the instructions. Luckily, I had it correct more or less by accident the first time. After years of Shimano cassettes, my return to Campag was a bit of a shock - who the hell designs cassettes with 4 different types of spacers in one cassette? (well, Campag does, for one).

    You live and learn.

  • who the hell designs cassettes with 4 different types of spacers in one cassette? (well, Campag does, for one).

    Would you believe that some of the cogs are dished to make up for the variation in spacer thickness?

    There is presumably a valid reason for such a design?..
