Campagnolo Record 1' Threadless Headset Review

Campagnolo Record 1' Threadless Headset
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got my Campy Record threadless headset 15 years ago, and it's still going strong today, with the original balls, on a brand new frame. Though the initial price is not cheap, it's worth the money, because once installed and bedded in, it just never needs adjusting. It's as silky smooth as it was brand new. And I weigh over 200 pounds.
This is a traditional-style headset, with balls in keepers running in hardened races. It's a little messy to install, but it's worth the trouble. In contrast, the Shimano Ultegra "cartridge" headset I tried gave up after a year or two. Use a good waterproof grease, pack it in, and clean off the excess when you're finished. Bob's your uncle.
Lightweight, pretty, and durable, just about sums it up.

KMC X10.93 10-Speed Bicycle Chain - Silver - X10.93x112L NP/DKS Review

There are many different 10sp replacement chains out there, and some people like to stick to the brand of drivetrain they have. If you ride Campagnolo, like I do, replacing chains can get pricey, so I sought out a lower priced replacement option, and have been very happy with the KMC. It shifts just as good as the Campy chain, and isn't any louder either. Given that it doesn't have hollow links/pins, I assume durability should be better (haven't had it long enough yet to formulate that opinion fully).

Miche Campy Splined 12-27 10-Speed Cassette Review

Not much to say here, but...
If you don't want to spend tons of money on a spare, or in my case a climbing cassette, then this is the way to go.
I have had no problems with shifting and would purchase an alternate sized cassette again.

Campagnolo Neutron Clincher Wheelset Review

Campagnolo Neutron Clincher Wheelset
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Ok first the good. I weigh 200 lbs. have ridden these wheels for 7 seasons, have not had to true them even once. There have been a few times when I've accidentally smacked these wheels really hard and I was sure I bent a rim but nope, they run true as when new. They are light, spin up really fast from a stop or passing and great for climbing. They are also very comfortable, seem to absorb some road shock. Easy to maintain, I've never opened the hubs or adjusted them, I just pump some Finish Line grease into the grease ports till it runs out the ends, wipe off the excess and ride 'em. I grease them about twice a year, takes about 2 minutes.
Ok now for the bad stuff, parts (if you can find them) are super expensive. To rebuild both wheels with new rims and spokes cost $700, I paid $750 for them. Worse than that though is rear rims have been on back order all year, nobody can get them (and I need one, the sidewalls are worn paper thin from braking.) I have around 25k miles on them. Bottom line, since I can't get a rear rim I'm going to switch to Rolf Prima Vigor RS, at least I can get them rebuilt at the local factory in Eugene, Oregon when the need arises. Too bad, I really do like the Neutrons.
