The Campagnolo Thread

How much are you after for the groupset, out of interest?

Holy moly, shome mishtake Shirley?

Thats absolutely crazy ! That price for athena levers ?!...

Went up reasonably slowly up and up. So I guess there's at least 1 other person who really wants a silver athena equipped bike. Chainset went for over 100 as well.

Especially when you consider how cheap some 10 speed veloce / centaur shifters are.

I bought these last week £35!

There's quite a following for pantographing Athena 11 speed stuff, most of it distasteful so my money is on that. £35 Centaur 10 speed is a great buy however!

I was eagerly following this too, along with the cranks. I guess it’s the nicest 11 speed silver campag group. The new 4 arm cranks are ugly and are powertorque, and the levers don’t have ultrashift.

Yeah i mean as @Lampman says i'd rather sacrifice the extra sprocket and get one of the last variations of centaur/chorus groupsets and keep the money to spend on a nicer frame and wheels.

I quite like the 4 arm design but appreciate not very traditional looking. The current silver 11 speed centaur groupset would have the benefit of taking up to a 34T cassette, not sure that Athena range had a medium / long rear mech option and is limited to 29T so I really don’t see the benefit over 10 speed tbh.

Any chance I could take you up on this?

Athena 11 had a long cage option as it had a triple chainset option. So did centaur 10. I also quite like the 4 arm design, quite keen on the potenza silver chainset.

I think its the last gen Centaur ultratorque groupset came with a compact chainring in 110bcd and a long mech at the rear.
Campa only started making bigger cassettes recently of course but adding a shim/sram cassette could work we've all done it before 😉

Wow I have some of those Athena levers on a beater bike . That must be an error Shirley .

One way to find out

I currently run last gen Centaur ultratorque compact chainrings with older aluminium Ergopower centaur levers on my winter set up and it works beautifully, hence I wanted another set as back up / future build.

Thats a safe bet, I personally have smaller hands so my favourite grips are the 2000s camp models.
I have mostly 9 or 10s campa as I don't do huge rides thats perfect for me, and i have had a few Frankenstein dailys using a mix of campy parts, best result was modern mirage (2010 ish) with long cage and shim cassette

Needing help with Campagnolo cassette compatibility.

Bought a set of Campagnolo Zonda wheels, with what I thought was Campagnolo 11s free hub.

But it doesn't seem to fit a campagno cassette.

Wheels.

Old cassette, which fits.

New cassette (Veloce 10s) that doesn't fit.

Can someone point out where I'm going wrong? Is there two types of campag free hub cassette spline?

Writing this all down has made me realise it's a fecking shimano freehub.

It is I’m afraid.

I ‘might’ have a Campag freehub that you can literally swap out. Won’t be able to check until tomorrow tho.

A shame you want to run 10sp, for 11 the spacing between Campagnolo and Shimano is close enough.

I could send you a 105 cassette which I ran fairly recently with campagnolo group on the trainer

Ahh sorry I assumed was 11 speed.
