Of course, subjective is.... well, subjective so I realize nothing will substitute for actually buying and trying something new. This thread is just to get some info on what people with much more experience than I have can impart.

Below is a recent pic of my Cyfac with 2008 Record 10. A couple of years ago I replaced the Record chainrings and cassette with Miche parts from BikeInn that work just fine. The largest cog now at back is a 29 (max per Campag spec), up 3 from the previous 26. In my post above I said I also used a RoadLink clone but just checked - not true. To determine what you can get away with on your bike find out what the max recommended cog size and chain wrap are for your rear derailleur / rd (see Campag docs / Velobase / Mechanics subforum). Adding a RoadLink (clone - see Ebay) will increase upper rd pully clearance and maybe wrap by a tooth or two over Campag spec.
