Campagnolo
Ordered this rotor to replace one that was bent when I lost an argument with gravity and the ground. Arrived Pronto from BTD, with a good house discount. Installed easily, working well. This rotor was ordered for an Ekar group set. Overall, well satisfied with the rotor and BTD shipping/customer service.
I mean Campy isn�t really seen as a progressive brand, meeting the challenges of the evolutions in cycling. But�these wheels are awesome!
I bought them a couple weeks prior to a gravel race and, frankly, only got to ride them once before the big day. But they did not disappoint.
Supple and stable, quiet both in absorbing road/dirt road chatter and free hub silence.
If you don�t have a set of gravel wheels that are making you happy, these are on your list now. Or should be.
I built up a 1979 Zeus 2000 Supercronos as a test to see if I could �modernize� a great old Spanish frame. It worked like a charm, and you could do it, too! I cold pressed the rear stays to accommodate 130 mm clearance needed for modern cassettes, and of course added European parts. New Campagnolo Chorus 12 speed 11-28 derailleur and shifters, old Campagnolo Pinarello �drilleum� pantographed 42/53 cranks I�ve been carting around since the �70�s, got some real Zeus 2001 side-pull brakes from Romania via eBay, along with Cinelli 110 mm stem from Serbia, Campagnolo seatpost bolt from Portugal (the country, not �the Man�). Added new Brooks C17 saddle and Look KEO Carbon pedals.
I have always found Chorus products to be of the superior quality you expect from Campy at a very reasonable price when compared to Record or Super Record. There might be a slight weight penalty compared to the Record and Super Record versions (as is advertised with this cassette), but I have never noticed it on the road. I currently use all three levels (Chorus, Record, Super Record) cassettes on various wheelsets. This time I opted for the 11/27 gearing to have a sort of bail out gear on those bad days when you try to go just one climb too many. So far so good and I expect lots of miles from this cassette like all other Campy cassettes I have owned.
