Subject: Campy 13/29 with full-size double
|
Does anyone have experience running a Campy 13/29t with a standard
53/39t crankset? I have a set of wheels that I am considering using for
rides with significant climbs. I normally run a 12/25. I was curious
about shifting with this large of a cog.
Thanks

That's what I have on my PX-10, with a short cage Centaur. Works fine.

It'll work just great and no need for the mid cage RD s long as the
chain length is proper for the 12-25. Done this many times and have 2
demo bikes with this very setup.

No problem. Why do you think Campa sells something that doesn't shift?

I'm concerned about cage length. I have read that short cage derailleurs
with this large of a cassette difference can cause wear on the
derailleur unless you stay away from the cross-combos.

See Russells answer. I don't understand why people keep buying short
cage RD and asking themselves this question over and over again. Get a
medium cage RD from the start and you are done..

Speaking of witch, does anyone know if it's posible to buy a Chorus medium
cage as spare part? I'm stuck with a short cage and 50/34-12/25 and
would like to to 13/29 before a trip to the alpes later this month.

Yes. It's part RD-CH302M. See
http://www.campagnolo.com/pdf/spares07_A_0307.pdf
But it is hard to get and expensive. For the rare occasion you can get a
cheap Veloce RD. Then you have a spare RD as well.

I wouldn't worry about that. When Campy first introduced its 13x29 cassette,
back in 2000 or 01, it only had a short cage rear der available, so that was
what was recommended. I say go for it. If problems arise, THEN get a medium
cage. No use spending extra $$$ if you don't have too!

I've used a 13-28 9 speed cassette with a 53-39 crankset and a short
cage 1998 Chorus rear derailleur. No problems. I've used a 13-29 10
speed cassette with a 48-30 crankset and a medium Centaur 9 speed rear
derailleur. And the 13-29 10 speed cassette with a 46-30 crankset and
a long cage Veloce rear derailleur. All worked just fine.
