    I took my BMC with an 12 speed Campy Record group out on Sunday and contrary to the opinion I had about the extra gears not being helpful, I, in fact, discovered that the extra gears went right inbetween the normal gears I had been using for climbing.

    Now this might have been because I was pissed off at Campy because they do not make spare parts as they should but what I did was to swap out my Campy groups for 10 speed Dura Ace.

    I bought a full rebuild assembly for my disabled 12 speed levers and will fit these on my DeRosa Merak. I must have an extra set of Campy wheels somewhere but if I don't, $400 will buy a set of new Khamsin wheels from Amazon and my wife has an active
    Prime account. Ot I can fit a 12 speed freehub to the set of new Superteam wheels I have sitting here. This would leave me needing a 12 speed chain and cassette. The DeRosa is an aluminum main triangle and carbon fiber ends and is lighter than the BMC
    SLC01.

    As for the Dura Ace 10 speed parts. They are very useful since unlike the 10 speed Campy components you could get long arm derailleurs for them and shift large road gears like my 11-36's. So I could get a pretty penny for them and one set of levers alone
    will pay for the full Campy 12 speed lever rebuild assembly from Canada before import taxes come into effect.

    Looking at this stack of freehubs I have here I think that I aleady have a Campy 12 speed if it fits on the Superteam wheels.

    While the Dura Ace 9000 brakes are very nice brakes it was shocking how much better the Campy brakes were, Not that they stopped any better but were so much more keenly controlable with the braking occuring over a parger span of the brake lever.

    I guess I simply didn't notice these refinements when I was using them every day.

    In any case I should say that the LTWoo (R9) 11 speed levers shift like a Campy lever but use all Shimano parts since they have the same pull ratios.

    And since I was using the Giro shoes I didn't have particularly sore feet when I removed them. I'm hoping that Sidi Genius shoes work as well but the Sidi Carbon shoes are a little tight on the the lateral plantar nerve.

    The Campy 12 speed has a limit of 34 tooth on the cassette but I don't seem to be gaining anything with the Shimano 36 tooth. I am going so slow that control becomes a problem and not strength.

    Triples were terrible devices. OK for touring bikes but absolute trash for racing. They were usually a 52/48/30 though a lot of people replaced the 48 with a 45 or even a 42 on the later 130 mm triples. They were forever misshifting in a racing setting
    and that was the end of your race at that point. Plus I was a lugger so there was no reason for me to have a 30 tooth.

    Campy 10 speed doubles would only shift a 28 though if you used a Daytona rear derailleur you could shift a 30 tooth cog.

    Not for ten speed systems. Short medium, long rear changers
    and the long ones are marked 'triple' on the package. There
    were no offroad 10 offered by Campagnolo.

    which is one the few highs apparently.

    Speculation they will go under at some stage or bought up.

    Not for ten speed systems. Short medium, long rear changers
    and the long ones are marked 'triple' on the package. There
    were no offroad 10 offered by Campagnolo.

    Sorry yes, I ment way back in time and Ekar which I think is 13 speed?

    Rather than 10 speed stuff which 3 out of the 4 bikes I own are.

    Right. Mr Kunich specifically complained about rear changer
    capacity on Campagnolo Ten. He merely owns the wrong model
    changer for the gearing he prefers.

    Those long arm Record rear derailleurs were really hard to come by. I think I got one off of Ebay because Robinson's tried to order a new one and it was not in stock and they were talking about months to get it. I finally got it and it's around here
    somewhere since I didn't throw anything out.

    What broke was called a "reel". I tried the end of the shift cables into it and they fit fine but the one that jammed was out of round and more oval shaped. Or I suppose that is why it jammed since out of a package of 10 I found three like that. It
    pulled in from the spring tension of the rear derailleur and then split the reel. While the 11 speed reel is metal, the 12 speed is a plastic casting. The metal reel and the plastic one couldn't have any weight advantage since they are both less than a
    gram.

    I seem to remember we had an argument about that and you insisted that I should be using Campy shift cables. I ordered a package of them and maybe they were counterfeits since they didn't have the "c" stamped into them but were part of the casting and
    stuck out from the side of the ends But the Chinese versions were fine as long as you didn't use one of them that was oblong rather than round.

    Right. Campagnolo Record Ten was displaced by the eleven
    speed system in 2009. Less expensive models (Chorus,
    Centaur, Veloce, Mirage) in long cage are compatible with
    your Record 10 Ergo levers.

    As we discussed earlier, you are having problems because you
    are using 4.5mm gear wire heads in your system designed for
    4.0mm gear wire heads.

    history note: gear wires were 4mm all brands (Simplex,
    Campagnolo, Zeus, Favorit, Cyclo, etc) until Shimano and
    Suntour adopted the larger 4.5mm format. The trouble you're
    experiencing is not a wire manufacturing error. It's the
    wrong part. Same trouble would ensue in a Simplex shift lever.

    tech note: Campagnolo wires measure 4.0mm diameter AND have
    a 'C' cast in the head.

    The current 12 series rear changer is radically different -
    incorporating many design changes - such that there are no
    longer 'short' and 'long' versions You may now expect both
    snappy response on a straight block AND capacity to 34t low
    gear from the same changer.
