And another vote for King Cages. I have the SS version. Great cage.

Don't understand why it took this long to be questioned. Nick Legan pointed it out just after the race. http://velonews.competitor.com/2011/09/bikes-and-tech/ask-nick/cavs-helmet-mountain-bike-weight-rules-those-mysterious-initials-on-the-maillot-jaune-and-more_194001

Love my Mavic Open Pro/Campy Chorus Hub/32 DB DT spokes custom build. Still going strong after 7 plus years. Love my Campy Chorus carbon seatpost on a previous bike. Not crazy about my current FSA SLK post. Hate Cinelli cork tape. Stuff just disenegrates when removed. Have to wrap the...

I have been riding Campy for 15 years. I have had 4 different groupsets. '96 Record, '98 Record/Chorus, '04 Chorus, and now '11 Chorus. All worked great. Nothing wore out. I just simply sold each bike after 6 years of use. My '04 Chorus chain barely stretched even after 6 years. If...

Also, using grease on the bolt you are about the torque skews the results. Most torque specs are for dry threads. The two LBS I go to do not use torque wrenches.

I reinstalled my crank. I decided to not grease the inside of the cups and left it dry. We will see what happens. BTW, the shop loctite the the cups so I never removed them from the frame. Campy said it was not necessary to grease the inside of the cups but wouldn't hurt either if used...

I'm embarrassed to say that the creak was caused by my carbon FSA seatpost. I never had that happen before. It was weird how it creaked with the slightest pedal stroke. I removed it, cleaned it up, put on some new grease and tightened back up pretty hard. It was torqued per spec before, but...

Glad greasing that connecting bolt has worked for you. I do have to say that the Campy NA rep. in CA was super adamant about not greasing the connecting bolt. Use Loctite 222 if desired but definitely tighten per spec. and then some.

Developed a substantial creak in my Chorus UT BB only after 600 miles. I also have TI frame. Pulled the cranks to inspect and clean. I also called Campy North America for any thoughts. Campy said that with a TI frame not to use loctite 222 but to use an anti-seize compound and torque to...

I use a house plant watering pot to wash the bike and a sponge. Very low pressure obviously and gets the job done.

I told you dropping those thumbtacks on the road would work!

Ahhh this Cyclingnews app sucks!!

A Lynskey R340 with '11 Campy Chorus.

If he was 29 or 30 and not 33 I would say maybe. Like CVV in '08, Wiggins in '09 and Rider in '10 I think this was his TDF peak. I think JV needs to cultivate someone younger. Perhaps get Talansky in the fold ASAP.

Riders ~30th and lower will not care about the GC. They will focus on team goals and where ever they end up at the end of the day, so be it. I'm sure Danny Pate could easily do better than 166th but his job is to protect Cav and perhaps others like Tony Martin as much as possible. That is...
