I've been on Campagnolo for 40 years. Really sad to see the thumb shifter go away. It was what made Campy stand out and it's just so great. I would assume it is still around on mechanical groups, at least until mechanical goes the way of the dodo. Also... 53 up front or go home. :)
@Rob-jv8qb Жыл бұрын
Campagnolo purist here, now maybe a former Campag purist, the thumb shifter is the main reason I used Campagnolo exclusively. Having the buttons separated to different parts of the hand makes a huge ergonomic difference when wearing gloves or when in O2 debt and the brain is shutting off and you need to rely on gross muscle memory. Especially given how hard to find (and expensive!) Campagnolo parts are in the US my next group will likely not be Campagnolo. If I have to pay for inferior shifting design I'm not going to pay a premium.

Not just the Pro's the UK TT scene has been adapting larger chainrings for improvements in efficiency for a while. Look at Sram they had to bring out larger rings for their pro's. I think it is probably due to the 'all road' phenomenon, and provides gearing to match. This leaves us amateur racers high and dry - e.g. Shimano only offer Ultegra 12spd with a max ring size of 52 which isn't great for TT's, Tri's and even some crits where a 54(+) can be useful.

Pretty ugly derailleurs, but I could get used to that. The main problem is the move away from the thumb shifter. That's what made Campy Campy. That was the absolute joy of riding and interacting with it. Removing that makes it a way too expensive version of Di2 or eTap, and now there is nothing special about it, as the shifting mechanism has changed. After 20 years with Campy, if their electronic groupsets all go this way, if I ever got an electronic gruppo, it would not be Campy, because now the only thing that separates Campy from the others is the massive price. Thumb shifters or bust. Thankfully, it is still on mechanical.

You mentioned the disappearance of Campagnolo from the pro peloton and shop floors. Shimano and to lesser extent SRAM have the marketing budgets to drown out Campagnolo by throwing more money at pro teams and now also KZbin channels - not to mention a certain Global cycling channel. As a result Shimano gets massive coverage- how many times have you heard 105 group set of the people, or “I’ve upgraded to Ultegra” or “Durace is the best bar none” for example as if there are no other choices. Occasionally SRAM gets mentioned particularly etap or SRAM red being the lightest. Almost never is Campagnolo mentioned except that it’s quirky or bought only by dentists. This is effectively negative marketing and it’s effective. It’s a shame because Campagnolo have and do produce excellent products. I made the switch more than 20 years ago following my frustration with Shimano durability. I would never go back. But many people especially newer cyclists have no idea that there’s an alternative. Obviously Super Record is not for everyone but what about Chorus as an alternative to Ultegra or Veloce as an alternative groupset for the people? How about some reviews? Might be an eye opener to many even if only the awareness alternatives are out there. It would be a great loss if Campagnolo were to slowly disappear.

I'm really happy for Campy for finally emerging into the 21st century. However... Their entire platform is nothing more than a very 'expected' copy (I won't say stolen) of SRAM/Shimano tech. It is clearly behind-the-power-curve out of the box which goes to show how 'un-Agile' Italian designers truly are. To be sure; it is a miracle that Colnago will continue to exist after UAE bought them. Let's hope they do the same with Campagnolo. If I had to guess; I'd say the Italian bike scene is approaching the conclusion of their long and storied history. (They just can't keep up. And they don't even want to...) Whether it is Campagnolo, Colnago, Bianchi, Cippolini, Cinelli, or what have you; they haven't done anything "innovative" since the bicycle 'Renaissance'. They reach a certain level of prolonged dominance and then they just quit. But isn't that the case with all hegemons? There was a time when Italian bicycle hardware dominated the Pro Peloton. But like all civilizations (be it the Roman Empire of antiquity or the US hegemony of today); they all eventually "go to zero". And that is where we're at with Campagnolo now. No matter how hard they try, Shimano is the new dominant player and SRAM will be 'second fiddle'. And poor Campy will simply fade into irrelevance before vanishing without notice.

Sure looks nice and a visual improvement from the last Campy groupset. Naturally the two p's, pricing along with performance will play an important role in the overall success.

Campagnolo builds excellent mechanical groupsets when it comes to electronics what can we expect?
@rosomak8244 Жыл бұрын
Parts from China or more precise Asia, is what you can expect. No consumer electronics is manufactured in europe or the US.

Well, be honest. How often do you use the 10 tooth sprocket?? Not to often I think. Because you have to go way over 50km/h on that gear. So it just don’t matter in the real word how much the loosing on a 10 tooth sprocket is.
@Gianniz27 Жыл бұрын
Point is, u loose in all the gears with the 45 "big" ring, what most amateurs need in mountains. Casette options are totally wrong. (10-29 max).
