Catherine, you might find Velocity to be very helpful. We're going through
a replacement process for a couple of well-built Velocity Dyads that
prematurely showed stress marks and a couple of fractures similar to yours.
They were very lightly ridden (in terms of mileage, weight/load, type of

Well this completely deep-sixes my happy little theory and all its
associated sage advice. Why didn't I just ask what shifters you're using
first?? I don't know!
Ok I don't see a need to change the whole drivetrain unless you're just not
into Campy and want Shimano stuff (a legit move if it's
My experience agrees with Garth's.
Wait a minute: That can't be right! Garth's experiences are way too far out
and exuberant for me!
Let me rephrase: Garth's experience shifting an older crank with a newer,
narrower chain, matches mine. I use a Ritchy Logic crank, 8 speed,* with an
11 speed chain
Wesley,
My guess in this scenario (cuz I haven't seen the shifters yet) is the
front is indexed and is popping the derailleur over a predetermined
distance this crank isn't cooperating with. The chain is either not going
far enough (caught between rings) or tossing all the way over onto the BB
Velocity will replace cracked rims.

I just looked this up - apparently the ramps and pins are meant to aid in
shifting to a larger chainring. You've said that you have problems shifting
to a smaller chainring, so I am not sure that my advice is actually
relevant. Sorry!

Hi Catherina,
Going with a Shimano freehub seems unlikely to be relevant, since the
problem is with shifting your front chainrings. They appear to not be have
any features like "ramps" and "pins" that are intended to make shifting
chainrings easier. I believe you would be able to fix your shifti
In regards to the rim first thing is contact Velocity. You didn't say if
the previous owner had built it or someone else did, but still, cracking
isn't normal, ever and shouldn't be accepted as such. Integrity of the
"matter" is normal. non-integrity ... is not.
What shifters, type of shi
I think my answer was a little convoluted, I'll try again:
Those cranks/rings weren't designed for indexing, a thing double rings
don't need anyway. With friction you move the derailleur exactly as much as
you want and it's almost index-like anyway cuz it's one movement forward
and one back. Y
Hi Catherina,
The problem I see with front shifting - under the assumption your Campy
Veloce drivetrain uses indexed Ergo shifters - is the crank isn't designed
for that system. The simple/cheaper way to solve this would be to keep
everything you have now (while replacing the rim) and add a fr
