Peter, a question for a Campy proponent. As I read about touring bikes, it seems nobody recommends
Campy for touring & commuting. Not bad-mouthed, but it's just not mentioned. Any reason it wouldn't
be suitable?
I can't imagine it's durability. I used to commute 4000 or 5000 miles a year on the Maillard hubs
that Trek put on my $300 bike in 1988. Modern Campagnolo would have to be many notches up.
Also, I don't believe it's price. My bike already has a Campy drivetrain, so a wheel with 36h
Centaur, Chorus or even Record would be very economical compared to a Phil cassette version.
