Just replaced the chain with a new Campag Ultra Narrow 5.9mm Veloce
grade chain last night and took it for a ride this morning. After the
ride, while wiping the bike down, I found this tiny polished metallic
ring on the Rt chain stay. It must have held on by static electricity or
a bit of sticky grease.
The tiny metallic ring measures approx 4mm diameter and is made of
polished metal wire of approx 0.35mm in diameter.
Anyone know where it might be from? Could it be part of the chain that
was just installed?
One other thing I noticed is that this chain is a lot quieter, near
silent, compared with the KMC chain that came with the bike. I noted
previously that with the old KMC chain, the Chorus cassette ran pretty
much silent while the Veloce cassette (both new,12-25, 2006 model) was
noisy despite adjustments. Even though with a bit of run-in, the Veloce
cassette got to be a bit quieter, but it was still not the same as the
Chorus. Now with the new Campag Veloce chain, it's equal with that
Chorus. Interesting bit of anecdote.
