Still waiting for the rear derailleur to return from the service center. Now you have to understand that they put a single washer on that is thin enough that it can be threaded on the mounting screw. This is to save the weight of a slightly larger washer and a circlip. That hardly seems worth the effort since Campagnolo tells them that in order to remove the mount in order to replace the broken stop which I assume is also titanium, they have to drill the end of the mounting screw off and replace the stop and the mounting screw for the same of a fractional gram.

I had decided to look for a Super Record rear derailleur and in the process noticed something that might come around to bite them in the ass. Shops are buying the $150 Record rear derailleur and also buying the $75 medium length arm and then trying to sell the results for $700. How long do you suppose people are going to put up with that in times of massive inflation and a rapidly approaching recession that will make Obama's recession look like good times.

I bought a 12 speed rear derailleur to see if the pull ratio was the same as the 11 speed. It isn't but it also seemed to be missing the quality of the 11 speed which is why it was half the price. Since increased numbers of speeds stopped being an advantage to regular riders at 9 speeds, at 11 speed you spend a good deal of your time shifting through gears that you cannot use. I suppose this is advantageous to racers who often have to work their way up to 40 kph average speeds, this doesn't make for anything good to people that are averaging 19 kph. I have mostly new parts so you have to wonder how long they will wear since I had already worn 10 speed parts to the point that they needed replacement of the ratchet. I don't know that they improved that mechanism, they just put it in a place where it was easier to replace.
