I managed to run campy for almost four years and always convinced myself that I just didn't need to spend the money on record cassettes. I have always been able to just run centaur and the occassional chorus and be happy. Well, that was until sometime in the last week or two. I finally decided to order my first record cassette. I ordered a 11-21 cassette. Well once I got it and realized how light it was I decided that it wouldn't make sense to have the light cassette only for flat rides. Therefore I ordered a 12-25. Then it occured to me. What sense did that make? I should really have a light cassette for those rides / races with a lot of climbing as well right? So I ordered a 13-26.

Basicly, I went from owning no record cassettes to owning three of them over two weeks time. The good news is I think I have all my bases covered.

You can send me your non-Record cassettes :-)
I just ordered a Veloce from PBK because other than Record, it's the only one with a 12-23 (as far as I can tell)

Wow great looking cassettes! Soo..... how much have u spent on bike parts in the past month? I'm totally envious of all the bike p*rn that you've been showing!!

Seriously, you need help.


Let us know how they work out. I was eyeing one to replace my sram cassette.

What's wrong with Shimano?

You need help. Seriously.

LowCel 

Those will be staying on my powertap and other training wheels. Sorry.

LowCel 

Actually I haven't spent that much out of pocket. I've sold some bike goodies that have just been setting around the house collecting dust. By the time all is said and done I will actually pay for my recent shopping spree plus put about a thousand on my credit card leaving me with only a couple hundred dollar balance.

LowCel 

Are you using a SRAM cassette with a campy drivetrain? If not I don't understand why you would be replacing a SRAM cassette with a campy.

LowCel 

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Shimano. Campy hoods just fit my hands better.

steaktaco

I'm just trolling.

The one thing I don't like about Record is the change in tone between the steel and ti cogs; very distinct. I wish I could justify all ti.

LowCel 

Yeah, I couldn't justify the all ti cassettes. As much as I would love to I just can't do it. Now, if I only needed one cassette then I would probably give one a shot.

steaktaco

By the way I meant the change in sound. One shift and it sounds like CLINKCLINKCLINK instead of CHUCKCHUCKCHUCK.

rapidcarbon

should have ordere 11-25 instead of 11-21 and 12-25

Stray Cat

Sram Force. No campy for me

djbowen1

KCNC!, 1 piece, lighter than campy, cheaper than campy, and just as smooth.

LowCel 

I almost bought one of them and then I started checking out the reviews. They were very mixed. Some people were only getting 100 or so miles out of them before they started breaking teeth off.

LowCel 

Then why were you........

LowCel 

I was able to get the 11-21 for $110 shipped off of road bike review and I was able to get the 12-25 for $120 shipped off of ebay. The only one I bought new was the 13-26. I probably could have been patient and found it on ebay as well but I want it for my ride this weekend.

dlew308

any of these purty campy cassettes compatible with shimano hubs ?

Patriot

NO!!!

Shimano is not worthy of being adorned with such grace and beauty.

I'm riding Campy, and love it, but those new SRAM Red cassettes look amazing..

dlew308

ah, let the kids mingle, a little interracial dating with component brands can't be all bad

LowCel 

Last time they did that Shimano got pregnant and they had a baby. Where did you think Sora came from???

dlew308

yikes, i thought that's how dura-ace came about, not rosemary's baby!

Stray Cat

The open glide in the Sram cassettes isn't all that great and a shimano cassette is suppose to be smoother. Figured dura ace will work
