I'm trying to decide between a Litespeed Veneto equipped with Campy Centaur or Shimano Ultegra. I've
never owned Campy equipment before. The only thing in Shimano's favor is the fact that I can
substitute an XT derrailleur for the rear and put in a mega range cassette for hills. As I
understand it, the max cog on the rear for Campy is 29. The shop said that they could switch the
granny gear from 30 to 24 (using non Campy chain rings), and then change the cassette to the 29.
Any opinions about the equipment or the possible Campy modification would be appreciated.
P.S. The Ultegra bike has Bontrager EZ Race Lite Wheels, the Campy bike has Campagnolo
Proton wheels.
