This of course doesn’t only apply to Campag but:
it baffles me how many people insist on trying stuff that goes against manufacturers indications based on whatever they’re told online and when shit hits the fan, blame the product instead of the advice given to them.
Brands spend a lot of time and resources developing new components that are designed to deliver the best user experience if paired together. Whenever you start mixing it might indeed end up “working” but it’ll be a far cry from the performance you could have had.
I’m not saying you should never use anything different from what the manufacturer suggests but some items are essential to remain original in order for it to correctly perform.
