2010 FMB Competition CX Silk Tubular Tire
When you're racing at the tip-top of the ProTour, the only gains left to make are incremental ones. It's why a real PRO wears custom-tailored jerseys and bibs. It's why his shoes are one-off. It's why ceramic bearings took hold in the cycling biz in the first place. It's why (no matter how many ...read more
2010 Campagnolo Athena 11 Rear Derailleur
The Campagnolo Athena 11 Rear Derailleur has identical functional details in comparison to Chorus 11 and the other loftier models in the Campy food chain.

2010 Time ATAC XS Titanium Carbon Pedals
Time's ATAC (Auto Tension Adjust Concept) line of pedals follows the design principles of their road line. Simple design, easy engagement, plenty of float. And their naming protocol is equally simple. This is the Ti Carbon because it has a titanium pedal spindle and a carbon pedal body. ...read more
2010 Campagnolo Record 11 Rear Derailleur
In terms of shifting crispness, there's no difference between the Campagnolo Record 11 rear derailleur and the Super Record 11 version.

The Cosmic Carbone Pro PowerTap Tubular wheelset is unique in the Mavic lineup. In 2010, ...read more
2010 Campagnolo Record 11 Skeleton Brake Calipers
7 grams. 1/3rd of an ounce. That's the total weight difference between these Campagnolo Record 11 Skeleton brake calipers and their Super Record 11 equivalent. From a functional standpoint there's nary a difference between Record 11 and Super Record 11 brakes. You'll get the same lockup power, ...read more
2010 Campagnolo Record 11 Ultra Torque Crankset
If the Super Record 11 crankset is Campagnolo's cost-is-no-object option, the Record 11 crankset is the cost-is-only-a-small-consideration choice. In every detail the Super Record 11 and Record 11 cranksets are identical, save one. While the Super Record 11 is equipped with the same Ceramic ...read more
2010 Time ATAC XS Carbon Pedals, CroMoly
The XS Carbon is identical to the XS Ti Carbon, only that the XS Carbon runs a steel pedal spindle rather than a titanium spindle. It's a big cost savings, moderate weight gain, and a confidence-inspiring increase in reliability, particularly for heavier or rough riders.
