In a change of subject, are there any rumors re: new Campagnolo road products? We know that the wireless or semi-wireless successor to EPS is in the works, for example, and many patents for new derailleur designs have been submitted over tha last couple of years. Given that Campy has a clear hit with a bold new product I would imagine a lot of development will be focused on all things 'Ekar', but we should still see plenty of new road products rolling out, as it were.
• A hi-zoot bike, pretty sweet
• An old bike, more fun than the new one actually
• Unicycle, no brand name visible

A lighter 12 speed cassette would be nice too, but afraid of the retail price.
Have you tried the Recon/Edco monoblock cassettes? Significantly lighter than Super Record (11-29: 83 g) and they run more silent. The gold-coloured Titanium-Nitride coated version (Recon) does not attract dirt and grease. So far only 11-29, 12-29 and 11-32 available but an 11-34 is in the pipeline.
I have one on order.
What's the wear time on those? I've just had to replace my first SR cassette (after very few kms I think, there's a bit of uncertainty because this was on a demo bike), because when I changed my chain it was skipping in the 17 (?). I've now put a chorus on to see how long that lasts.Yoaqim wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 6:17 pmHave you tried the Recon/Edco monoblock cassettes?

I wonder if the road groups will all change over to the 'Pro tech' bottom bracket standard introduced w Ekar.

Someone mentioned 10.000km, can't remember who/where it was.Cycomanic wrote: ↑Mon Apr 26, 2021 9:35 amWhat's the wear time on those?

I had to change mine after 7000kms, but it was mostly due to riding it for too long with a worn chain. 10.000km sounds very doable with proper chain management.micky wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 10:38 pmSomeone mentioned 10.000km, can't remember who/where it was.Cycomanic wrote: ↑Mon Apr 26, 2021 9:35 amWhat's the wear time on those?

I really love mines, the price/weight/shifting-quality/silence combo is optimal. I just put to new ones on two of my bikes, and I wouldn't consider anything else anymore.

You can make your own with a miche supertype cassette and 1.5mm spacers.
It seems I have got a 12-27T cassette to work.
Gearing is 12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,21,23,25,27.
First test ride coming soon, any day now.
Just waiting on one part to arrive in the post.
12-23 straight block was a lot harder, it fits on the freehub splines, but there is hardly any room between inner cage plate and spokes.
Other than that you might try an 11-25T. It really depends on your wheels.
I understand the spacers but there are no spacers between starting cog and the next one. how dit you fix this?synchronicity wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 2:41 amYou can make your own with a miche supertype cassette and 1.5mm spacers.

It (the 1st position 11 speed cog) is close enough that it works*.
Or you can grind it down 0.1mm or whatever (like to the edge of the chamfer).
I'll only commit to doing that myself once I've ridden it a few hundred metres however.
I realise it's a bit, how should I say, dodgey, but I'd rather do that than opt for the campy 12 speed cassette. Which is a bit of a pig.
* Or at least it does on my makeshift workstand.
