Of all the other mechanics I know from numerous shops, I don't know one who actually likes Campy or likes working their products. Only the hardcore fanatics refuse to admit how miserable that crap is to work on, and how truely mediocre it is for the price. Sorry about your hub.
I guess we will see another thread like this in say........6 months?
Unlikely. I won't own this bike by the end of summer.
Yeah. I've still got a bike kicking around with an older Record group, and it's pretty awesome, but I can't see myself buying anything new that's not Shimano. Sram's stuff is functional, but I vastly prefer Shimano's shifter configuration.
These wheels being....?
Campagnolo Nucleons...I believe they were the high-end climbing wheels in Campy's line from the mid 2000s. They have a really low rim profile so they require some focus on keeping pinned at speed, but aside from that they're stiff and light. My old wheels were like mush under acceleration.
We've sold a ****load of Attacks, and have heard nothing but good things back. I took a little spin on a pair to see how they felt and was impressed. Pretty stiff, not really mind blowingly so, but solid. My only real complaint is that changing spokes on them sucks balls because of their funky recessed nipples.
