The difference between winning and coming second
may be hardly visible.
But it’s often
a question of Campagnolo.
Front changer for racing bicycles. The carbonitrided steel cage ensures reduced wear the surfaces which come in contact with the chain during changing. The double hinge on the pivot reduces cage play and eliminates noisy and imprecise changes. The cage shape has been developed from the experience of professional racing cyclists.
The changer also features pivot-bolts with milled heads, adjusting screws which allow very fine adjustments and a cable anchor bolt with specially shaped washer; all details which contribute to rapid and efficient changes over an unbelievably high mileage.
A complete technology dedicated to improve the performance of the champion. A champion who uses Campagnolo never rides alone. With him ride the computer controlled machines that produce the Campagnolo parts with the passion of skilled craftsmen. And with him ride the Campagnolo craftsmen who assemble the components with computer like precision.
When he breaks away, the Campagnolo’s 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.
