Currently I have a Surly Cross x Check (using Empella Frogglegs cantis) and 10-speed double Daytona
group (13x29 and 53/39) and would like to get a different frame and run my Campy with disk brakes.
I'm looking for another multi-tasking (tour/city/commute/trailer hauling/CX) frame that uses disc
brakes. I've identifed Giant and Cannondale so far as possible options.
To make Campy 10-speed work, I think I will need to use an American Classic (or maybe TA or Mavic)
cassette on Shimano cassette-compatible wheels. Any thoughts?
Any problems with lever travel (ERGO) with disk brakes? Any other compatibility issues? I'd would
REALLY rather not run bar-end shifters. I suppose certain brands/types of disk brakes are better
suited to road levers. More research necessary. I don't see any reason why I couldn't use my top
mount brake levers. Any thoughts?
Next step is to do research on a nice pair of disc hubs, w/o the immediate knee jerk reaction to go
to Chris King. I suppose that they will have to be 135 rear spacing.
Thanks for your time and advice.
