New Campa Record and Chorus 11 speed

Derk

I just read on a Dutch bike forum, that Campa will go 11 speed. Th estory
came from a LBS owner. Can anyone confirm: full carbon rd, ceramic jockey
wheels, 11 speed.

That should be "ceramic jockey wheel bearings".

Can anyone confirm the story?

I'm not even going to respond to that, although it would be very easy to
insult you too.

Our staff reports the tourists are doing the heavy lifting on cannabis
in Amsterdam, not so much the locals.

Will there be a Nigel Tufnel special edition?

I'll just make 10 higher on my bike.

Of course it would be easy to insult me! But would your source prefer me
to believe that he has no mitigating excuse for disseminating such an
unlikely rumor?

Here's the skinny: there are very, very few LBS owners who get special
knowledge of this sort of group-change ahead of the usual rumors sites.
Among other things, I would expect to see that getting tested in the pro
peloton, I'd expect to hear rumors from major sites (Velonews and
Cycling News in English), and I'd expect to hear rumblings that started
around Interbike or Eurobike, those being the big annual trade shows.

I would be very skeptical of such an uncreative* rumor where the first
source was someone who heard it from an LBS owner.

As for the insult, you should hear me when I get started with the
"Hampsten won on the Gavia" and "the official language of the
Netherlands is English" trolls.

Ted and Ewoud over in rbr love them!

*"uncreative" because the gradual progression from 5 to 10 speeds has
been so regular that it's an easy prediction to suggest that, at some
point some maker will no longer be able to resist the temptation to go
to eleven. As long as we're talking about practicalities, 9-to-10 was
already clearly in the Land of Diminishing Returns, and 10-to-11 has a
real chance of being a indisputable trip to the Land of Marketing Crap
That Makes The Bike Worse. To the extent more gears are needed, there's
probably a better case for production quad chainrings. And that's a
pretty weak case.

Yes. It will be introduced in Cleveland.

Well, they're all citizens of the EU now. I can hardly be expected to
tell the difference between wherever Tufnel is from and Dutchland.

At least I remember the name of the Dutch national anthem: "Dutchland
uber Alles."

That's right, innit?
