Well, if you read the Campy company line on the matter, they stress that if there's a weight limit, it's a pliable one; the statement reads like bad politics. "There is no clear dividing line defining when someone is 'too heavy' for Campagnolo products. Many factors need to be considered," they mumble.
They're indicating little more than the obvious facts -- the bigger you are, the more likely you are to put greater stress on your equipment than a lighter person -- and similarly, the crazier the terrain you tackle, the quicker your stuff will wear out. Anything new there? Nah, I don't think so.
In other words, even if you're obscenely heavy or regularly ride on cobblestones, your stuff isn't necessarily more likely to catastrophically explode on your Sunday ride after 2 weeks... there's just a greater chance you'll want to replace something in 6 years instead of 8.
I'd wager that any person *small* enough to fit on a modern road bike can assume they won't be putting unsual stress on their drivetrain... at least not in a fashion contributing to sudden failures. Whatever. No worries.
It's CYA. Shimano does some of it too,but Campy really has the corner on the market.Originally posted by rockhusky
btw, if its proven bs, why print it? some kind of cover-your-own-ass kinda deal? im sure campagnolo products arent made of twigs.. why the need to cover?
Really? Got a white paper on that?Originally posted by mrowkoob
