Campagnolo 2008 Record Groupset
This is it! I’ve long been a user of Campagnolo and those that ride with me you will when ever (which there often is) a problem with shimano, know the catch cry of “Sh1t Oh No it’s broken again”. Now I’ve heard many a bike shops tell me that Sh1tohno is the way to go. It’s just a set and go type of running gear.
If you could picture me with a bubble for my thoughts saying [blah blah blah…. Shitohno, blah blah, it just works!] result for the bike shop is… “No sale!”
I have recently installed the 2008 Record Groupset, I’ve always been dubious about carbon cranks and frames. This has changed after putting on the 180mm carbon crank. This groupset is a dream to ride on, there is no flex and in everyway it has a better feel while riding. The weight difference with not having a bottom bracket is noticeable in the overall weight of the bike once installed. No matter how much pressure you put on the pedals nothing goes to waste on the road. With weight saving on most other components with titanium incorporated into them the old saying “like a hot knife through butter” when changing gears still stands. Overall this group set in my opinion is a leap forward in cycling technology. With the new name on the block “SRAM” designing a similar product I’d be keen to have a look at they have to offer the usability of it.
Who knows, next thing I’ll be on a Carbon frame. After my Cannondale Warranty post you can bet it won’t be a Dale I’ll be riding.
