Sorry for dirty (ski wax) table on background. _________________ Team KAS-RAK: http://www.pellossalo.fi/pellossalonnousu/ My Look 695 SR + EPS : http://www.pellossalo.fi/content/uploads/images/medium/Look695EPS.jpg http://www.pellossalo.fi/content/uploads/images/medium/20120513_003.jpg

I'm still going to wait a couple of years though before heading down that way, also as there is no external wiring kit yet. _________________ 2012 BMC SLR 6.02kg http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=110390

I've now seen both SuperRecord and this week, Athena EPS - and they feel remarkably similar in use. The lever shifting feel is really, really nice! The weight penalty is far less than what I was expecting too

The weight differential of the full gruppos is considerably larger.

Would it be worth going Athena for the electronic bits and SR for the rest? Then you'll only have a 76g penalty over SR EPS, and you ditch the power torque BB _________________ I'm writing the new weight weenies blog. Hope you like it My SwiftCarbon Ultravox

The Campag EPS maintenance document says "Lever 1 can be replaced as with the mechanical systems". http://www.campagnolo.com/repository/do ... _07_12.pdf" There's not enough detail in the exploded drawings to tell if the backside of the mechanical and electronic levers are moulded differently. At any rate, it would appear the carbon Record EPS levers can be used. http://www.campagnolo.com/repository/do ... -11-12.pdf"

IE: unplug the Ergopower and connect the bar ends.. It may require marginally more work if you also want to use the EPS bar-end brake levers. Anyone else?
