Hey all,
Knowing little about Campy...
What's the deal with adding a, say, 27, 28, or 29 cog to a 2002 or 2003 10 speed double Centaur
equipped bike? Current largest cog looks like 23 or 25 to me.
I did some Deja searches and came up with some info, but I'm hoping to cut to the chase here and
bring me up to speed. Is the process the same as Shimano? ie, the smallest cog is special, in the
case of Campy it's the lockring too? Otherwise just throw a cog on there, but keep in mind the
capability of the rear der?
Which begs another question. What is the largest cog a double Centaur rear der can handle? It
appears from Deja posts the 2003 Centaur model is different from the 2002. If so, how can I tell the
difference and find the rating for each?
I checked Sheldon's site first of course, hoping to find an equivalent Campy section to match his
amazing Shimano section, but no apparently. His site does, however, say this: "Individual Campagnolo
sprockets are not readily available." http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/k7.html#9cassettes Is that
still the case?
Thanks, Doug
