    Campag lay offs.

    Let's face it The name "Campagnolo" (and copyright on all the trademarks within) is worth a lot more than a business losing multi-millions a year and all sorts of legal obligations hanging on over priducts, workforce, physical infrastructure and so on.

    Campag lay offs.

    Campagnolo launches overhauled Super Record, the world's first 2x13-speed, wireless road cycling groupset… and the iconic thumb shifter is back 13 speed electronic thumbshifter? Surely that's their way forward!😉

    How to true Shimano ‘opposite lock’ wheels?

    Bottom bracket length query

    Shimano were offering a choice, assuming that the installer would have all sizes to hand, so if narrow was too tight, go 113. That's how we used to do it in the days of square taper. Have a guess, then swap out if necessary to get best outcome. I think either will likely be ok, but try...

    Bottom bracket length query

    Chainstay design can require a longer bb - think aluminium frame with wider tyre clearance vs steel Fat seattubes can also mean a longer bb is required for the front derailleur to drop the chain onto the small ring Pedaling is best narrower.
