Threw the bike mid stage and still won... ... Snapped chain and got booted from the race? Hmmmm.
I guess there had to be one team that used Campag equipment throughout inc. wheels that eventually won a Grand Tour since Stonehenge and the Pyramids had been completed...CAMPYBOB said:No matter how much you wash...no matter how hard you wipe...Campagnolo booted shitmaNO from the race. A size nine right up the Ass-less chap wearing backside of shitmaNO. Wheels...gears...brakes...the finest in the world. Campagnolo. Hell, even Rigoberto Duran Duran ran SCRAM into second place...ahead of shitmaNO.Â
Shimano lost me with the butt ugly crank design when they transitioned from 7800 to 7900, and just when I thought it was safe to go back in the water they came out with the even fuglier 9000. Now it looks like Campagnolo has gone and done the same. Maybe if I shut my eyes real tight and leave this thread immediately never to return I can unsee what I just seen. Oh the humanity!

And now...one-upping shitmaNO at the fugly game, we have...
Torque-Amada!
OK...I can see the need to go to a common platform bolt circle. I mean...why not? As long as stiffness and structural integrity is maintained...go for it.
But, why in the name of Da Pope did Campy feel the need to compete with what have become the fugliest components on the planet...shitmaNO?
Surely there is time for a re-design!
Who? Who, among us, can save us from this travesty?

The assymetrical webbing is different.
I'll be due for a new group as soon as I wear out my two un-used Chorus 11-speed sets...er...wait! They're obsolete!
No matter. When I upgrade it's going to be for a 12-speed and/or electric 12-speed. I don't give a rat's ass about disco brakes, but another gear would be welcome.
It took Campag 2 years to copy that design from Shimano and it'll be another 2 before they release their Disco potato brakes - 2016 apparently. 12 speed? You need a 36 sprocket or something Bob? I guess Camapg has to run that gimmick to try an get one up on Shimano these days. Shiny components on a silver platter. Fitting as Campag has had their asses handed to them on a silver platter the past decade or so...CAMPYBOB said:Hmmm? The more I study it...the more I like it. Sorta. Kindof.

Those cranks require 8 chainring bolts... I guess those chainrings are made from stamped pasta. 8 bolts - all with the warning in the manual that bolt failure will result in possible death!
Ultra-all day-torquing bolts technology - don't forget the $450 5mm Allen wrench and the $600 5mm Allen socket to fit on the $700 campagnolo torque wrench when you need to snug up those alloy bolts.
