Disc specific cranks. Still, at least Campy have finally entered the 20th century.

Not convinced that rotor size specific calipers is the best idea, though.

Hope had rotor size specific calipers back in the day. I think with 2 rotor sizes and not much chance of people chopping and changing on a road bike, it’s fine (it’ll save a small amount of weight for a start).

(LOL @ disc specific crank even though you’re being a bit naughty with that claim).

That’s a good point.

I like the vibration reduction pad idea.

With Hope you could buy a new caliper half reasonably cheaply if you wished to change rotor size….

Do they slice as well as the competition? *aand runs away….*

What about the cranks?

Campagnolo found that by using long life magnets they were able to deliver better pad clearance from the rotor over time, ensuring the 0.6mm pad retraction to maintain rotor clearance, as well as eliminate the possible interference of the typical metal spring.

The anti-noise laminate is both glued & mechanically fixed to the pad carrier so is said to outlast the braking material itself. The small metal clips bent around the pad carrier also apparently offering an audible pad wear indicator.

So they removed the spring because it “interfered”, went with magnets, had to stick some ferromagnetic sheet to the aluminium pad backing, then had it bent so that it interferes on purpose.

If you read the whole of the article, (which is admittedly bloody long) it’s a wider Q factor to improve chainline with 135mm hubs and short chain stays.

Wow, am I reading that correct that the levers/brakes will be 500 euros (plus VAT) each. 1200 quid for a set of brakes is a lot, even for all those dentists bikes…

I thought the whole trend nowadays was for narrower Q factors – did I miss a trend?

Ah, so they’re Boost cranks then?

shirley they can leave q factor alone and just change the dish of the spider (the 4/5 arm thingy that the rings bolt to)

I was under the impression that Q factor was how far apart pedals were. AFAIK mtb direct mount single ring setups allow for std/boost back ends by dishing the single ring appropriately. The cranks, axle and q factor all remain the same (assuming my definition of q factor is correct)

Can’t dish the spider if the crank gets in the way :).

CAMPY!!!

CFH go and sit on the naughty step in the corner.

It’s CAMPAG!!

( 😉 )

So these are road only disc brakes and cyclocross riders will need to look elsewhere.

Of course Campagnolo who pioneered the race-ready, system-built wheel concept more than two decades ago

Wasn’t that Mavic with the Helium?

what’s the light blue frame?

I one did a direct translation of the word CAMPAGNOLO from Italian to English. It’s actually two seperate words, ‘campa’, from the Latin root ‘campai’ where we get ‘complicate’ translates more accurately as ‘awkward’
And ‘gnolo’ which oddly has Germanic roots, Making it’s way into modern Italian only a couple of hundred years ago as ‘Folo’ referring to, err, a ladies genitals. It’s believed the ‘gn’ was added in a derogatory or profane manner at some point.

Campa gnolo – ‘awkward c**t’

EDIT
Valentino Rossi has WLF on the zip tab of his leathers (check if you like) which is rumoured to be two vees not a W as in VIVA, then L = la and F= Folo
Ergo:
‘Long live …….’

You could be right about the Q factor, because it was a long article I was skimming by then.

Ah, so they’re Boost cranks then?

Yep, there referenced boost in the write up. 😀

what’s the light blue frame?

Sarto

Not enough photos of the levers in that article.

And those calipers? How ugly?! Without the Campag logo you’d think they were Tektro from 20 years ago.

Well the SRAM Etap HRD calipers look great, but they’re nearly 6 months behind delivery – mine were originally promised for delivery mid January, possibly now coming mid June…

Can’t dish the spider if the crank gets in the way 🙂

true, but if they’re making “disc specific”* cranks, carbon ones too, they can manipulate the arm shape to give more room.

Also

This new chainset design, in both H11 and Potenza 11 versions, ensures excellent precision for 142mm rear spacing and does so without altering the Q factor [145.5mm].”

🙂

*Not really disc specific are they? They’re boost/wide hub specific
