I know that the Campy EPS can be finicky when using non-Campy drive train components, i.e., cranks. Does anyone currently have this setup (SR EPS w/ Clavicula cranks/Praxis rings)? If so, does it shift as well as a full Campy drive train?
Thanks in advance!

Don't have Claviculas, but I have Look Zed2 crankset on my Look 695 with stronglight rings and EPS super record. Shifting is as good as my wife bike with Athena EPS with Campy 11sp crankset. So I assume EPS works perfectly with Claviculas/Praxis crankset.

I do not have EPS, but mechanical SR. I was also very scared about performance with Clavicula and non Campagnolo rings. But my build was WW project so I decided to buy Clavicula with FibreLyte rings. Front shifting is great and I did not have any single problem during whole season with this setup.

I have m3s and praxis rings with mech Sr and the shifting is awesome. Every bit as good as with campag rings and cranks

Thanks for the replies -- I know that the SR11 mechanical with Clavicula/Praxis works (required minor FD adjustment due to higher Q factor of the Clavicula). The EPS, however, is quite a bit more sensitive to non-Campy hardware. My LBS swears they'd be able to make it work but they haven't done it. Hence, my quest for first hand experience.
Tumppi, glad to know that SR EPS works well with your Look/Stronglight combo!

Yep -- I've seen a photo of that setup on the Storck site. Glad to know that the shifting works perfectly. Did it require anything out of the ordinary in terms of FD setup?

I think that's quite normal when riding cross-chain -- does it on my mechanical SR. Interested to know if you've ever dropped a chain when shifting from 53 to 39 (or 50 to 36 if compact). Do you use a chain catcher with this setup? Thanks.

At least with my Storck PowerArms (Same as M3) there's never any rub of the chain with the FD.
Guess FD positioning coudl also influence this but as noted if it's well setup the FD adjust itself to eliminate any chain rub.
