The difference between winning and coming second
may be hardly visible.
But it’s often
a question of Campagnolo.
Record changer for racing cycles. The upper body of the changer contains an auxiliary spring to speed up wheel changing: precious seconds gained in the race.
The connecting sides of the parallelogram section are hinged on special steel pins with milled heads, mounted in bushes: reduced friction allows faster gear changes and improves the reliability and durability of the component.
The jockey wheels feature adjustable ball bearings to reduce friction in the chain drive.
A complete technology to improve the champion’s performance.
A champion who uses Campagnolo never rides alone. With him ride the computer-controlled machines that produce the Campagnolo parts like skilled craftsmen with passion. And with him ride the Campagnolo craftsmen who assemble the components with computer like precision. When he breaks away, the Campagnolo R&D Department, where tomorrow’s cycling is designed, goes with him.
When he sprints, his Campagnolo components, fruits of this technology, sprint with him. And when he wins, often, it’s Campagnolo that wins with him.
