They are big but gotta put the reservoir someplace..Not gonna ever use them, buy them, work on them...so..ehhh

Also this, new group-probably to replace Athena

As ugly as, if not uglier than the Sram levers, not impressed.


That potenza group is ugly too by Campag standards, but if it makes it a bit more affordable then that's good.

In terms of closeness to there normal brake levers, these are the ones that resemble them the most. Also with this Campag have the same design for both EPS and Mechanical, which I like. As usual (in terms of gearing systems), the italians have done the best.

How could the einstein's at spam miss hydro discs with etap? There will be more hydro discs on Campag bikes than slam in the Euro peloton..and they are supposed to be all in with disc brakes..major fail..not the first and OBTW.

another scam recall..shocking..

Potenza to be double, Athena to be triple only. Best ergonomics of all the levers and 1 bolt diameter for all chainring combos..major plus..PLUS silver and dark finishes..something even 6800 doesn't do.

It does seem a major mis-step from Sram, but then they're pretty well known for that...

I thought triples were basically gone except for touring? I do like the feel of Campag stuff, 1 BCD is very good (although I think you can get, compact, mid-compact and double rings in 110BCD for Shimano these days?) and the two finishes will let the fussy make a better decision. Still doesn't look as good as most Campag stuff though.
