  1. Hi all,

    2 questions. Campag Chorus 05 front der, is there any difference between
    getting a braze on with a clamp on adapter versus a clamp on front der?
    Reason I ask is that I have purchased a Campag Chorus mini group set and
    asked for a clamp on front der and they sent me a braze on with an adapter
    instead.

    Secondly, do cf bidon cages not mark bidons like aluminium and steel ones
    do?

    Sorry about the previous post.

    Thanks

    1. If the adapter is the correct size for your frame, no difference.
    2. No

    There is no difference in functionality. They may have sent you the
    clamp-on braze-on combination because your down-tube is a different size
    from what Campy supplies.

    Get just a little piece of road grime on the bottle, or perhaps a bit of
    the bottle's graphics sticks to the contact point of the cage, and it
    will mark up the bottle. If you have a bottle with graphics of which
    you are particularly fond, either don't use it or put up with scratches
    and marks.

    I say-nope, altho the Campagnolo clampon is 'prettier'

    AND CF cages do not mark up bottles but remember how much a waterbottle weighs
    and the possibility of breaking one of these 30 gr, many $ cages.
