When did athena go 11 speed and when did it lose it's multiple downshift (2011/12, I'd guess)?
Must be new for 2012. I'm pretty sure the 2011 Athena could shift down 3?
It's a real shame Campag are going backwards, although Shimano/Sram users seem happy enough with basic shifting.
Veloce has been 1up1down since 2011 and I've used that and got on with it alright, it's simplicity might even encourage smoother riding.
The real horror of 2012 Athena is the powertorque crank, no?
What's the issue with power torque? Isn't it just a version of what Shimano/Sram have been doing and cheaper than ultra torque to make accurately?
