I just picked one up on eBay. Thanks for the recommendation! I read somewhere that for 8/9 speed front derailers Chorus is of the same quality as Racing T. Is that right? Chorus components seem to be more available than Racing T. On Wednesday, March 21, 2012 6:45:32 PM UTC-4, Steve Palin

Steve is correct, those Racing T FD are super at 48-38-28 DT or Barend shifting for me as well. I bought a Campy FD from Rivendell before, it works very well and looks like my Racing T. http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/d10.htm I will double check it tomorrow and make sure they are the same sh

I'm using it on two bikes, both with Shimano LX long cage rapid rise rear derailleurs. Works fine. For the front I found that the Powershift (not Ultrashift) worked ok. It can make your head hurt trying to figure out what Campy is doing year to year with PowerShift, UltraShift, and even group to

I guess I can see why one might not want to put the 2X10 SRAM drivetrain on a Riv for aesthetic reasons. But from a purely functional standpoint, I concur with Jim's assessment of this set-up. I recently bought a Surly Ogre from Jim (Hiawatha Cyclery) and went with the 2X10 set-up on Jim's recommen

And 11 speed Campy is confirmed to shift Shimano 9 just as 10 speed shifts Shimano 8. So Campy Brifters which everyone seems to love and Shimano 9 speed drivetrain which everyone begrudgingly admits is pretty bulletproof. And yeah, White hubs would be just that much better! On 3/23/12, cyclotouris

Campy sold a 30-40-50 chainring option on their non-Record/Chorus triple cranksets. I like those cranks too, despite the 135 BCD and requirement to use a Campy-compatible square taper bottom bracket. Tough chainrings in the Centaur/Racing T level. Unfortunately Campy turned fully toward the ra
