COMPONENTS SPECIALS
2008 Shimano Dura-Ace 10-Speed CS-7800 Cassette
These bigger ratios cost a few dollars more than the 11/21 and 11/23 because their low cogs require the use of a bit more titanium in the production process. The bottom 4 cogs on the Dura-Ace 10-Speed cassette are made from titanium -- unlike the 2 (or sometimes 3, depending on ratio) you got in ...read more
2010 Campagnolo Super Record 11 Skeleton Brake Calipers
The Campagnolo Super Record 11 brake calipers represent Campy's second generation "Skeleton" design. While the super-machined appearance of the Skeleton design might suggest that lightness was Campagnolo's main motivation, in fact their foremost goal was to maximize caliper strength and increase ...read more
2010 Campagnolo Super Record 11 Ultra Torque Bottom Bracket
The Campagnolo Super Record 11 speed Ultra Torque bottom bracket is hardly a component. The CULT ceramic bottom bracket bearings themselves are actually pre-pressed onto the Super Record 11 crankset semi-axles. When you buy a Super Record 11 Ultra Torque BB all you get is two empty bottom bracket ...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 Campagnolo Chorus 11 Rear Derailleur
In comparison to Record 11, the Campagnolo Chorus 11 rear derailleur has more aesthetic than structural differentiation. Since the Chorus 11 uses a full-alloy pulley cage instead of the metal-carbon cage used for Record, there's significantly more silver to behold, giving the Chorus 11 a more ...read more
2010 Campagnolo Chorus 11 Skeleton Brake Calipers
It's easy to love the classic polished finish of the Campagnolo Chorus 11 Skeleton brake calipers. It's reminiscent of Campy's days of yore, and it's the most distinct difference between Chorus 11 calipers and the black Super Record 11 and Record 11 calipers. Other than aesthetics, there are ...read more
2010 Deda Elementi Phazer Carbon Fiber Handlebar
The Deda Elementi Phazer handlebar stuns. It undoubtedly looks different than just about every other bar on the market. Some people will get what it's about in the blink of an eye. Others might need to know a bit more. For those in the latter camp, we're happy to explain. Deda noticed that more ...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 Super Record 11 Rear Derailleur
Campagnolo Super Record 11 shift quality is defined by its low-effort crispness. While most of the shifting magic is built into the Super Record 11 Ergopower levers, the Ultra Shift design of the Super Record 11 rear derailleur complements the levers, and together they deliver a 13% reduction in ...read more
2010 Campagnolo Athena 11 Ultra-Torque 11 Crankset
The story of the Ultra Torque design is one of maximizing the drivetrain stiffness of your bike without making any sacrifices in either bottom bracket drag or in Q-Factor. The only issue anyone could possibly raise, in fact, is the cost of Campagnolo's signature models. Campagnolo carbon cranks ...read more
