Hi all,
I have a year-old Cannondale CAAD7 frame set, including the integrated hollowgram bottom bracket/crank set. I would like to set it up with all 2004 Campagnolo Record 10 speed equip. So far I have a Campagnolo Eurus wheel set with a Campy compatible hub, Record Ultra-Drive 13-29 10s cog set, Record Ergopower 10s shifters, and bottom bracket/crank arm removal tools for the hollowgram. I know I will need a medium cage derailleur and a C10 chain.
Now my question: Are there double chain rings available that will fit both the the hollowgram spider and the 6mm chain, or am I going to have to try to fit my bottom-bracket shell with some Campy 10s compatible crank set? Cdale's top-of-line road bike has Campy 10s, so there must be a way.
Thank you for the help, Mick & his embryonic "blue racer"

Without doing any research, there are aftermarket 10 speed rings out there. I am not familar with the hollowgram crank but unless it has 135 bolt pattern you will not be able to use the Campy rings. For what you are building, I would be inclined to get the Campy cranks. (You will also need the BB)

Your Si hollowgram crankset is fine as is. You can run C10 on those rings.

I looked on the web and near as I can find the hollowgram only comes in 130. If you can get the spacing right your cranks will work. However, I have several customers with 10s campy and it is a little finicky(Not as big a deal in the front)

You have the same setup that I do. The hollowgram crank has always been compatible with 9 and 10 speed. The rings work with both.
