Twelve speeds are here with Campagnolo’s re-designed Record and Super Record mechanical disc groupsets. We take a look at the new 12-speed design.

CXM has seen some unique bikes at the U.S. Cyclocross Nationals over the years. In this TBT, we look at some interesting builds from the archives to get ready for Reno.

Campagnolo has released its long-awaited hydraulic disc brakes and added a new alloy group under the formerly-retired Centaur name. We take a look at both and discuss Campy’s relevance for cyclocross and gravel.

Campagnolo also showed off prototype road disc brakes recently. The hydraulic brakes do not bear any groupset branding, and instead feature the “Campy Tech Lab” designation.

Storied Italian component maker released a new groupo yesterday, a wider-rimmed Shamal and showed off what may ultimately become its road disc brake offering.

For Throwback Thursday today, we take a look at Ben Berden’s 2002 Koksijde World Cup-winning Eddy Merckx cyclocross bike. What’s old is new and what’s new is old with the 1X drivetrain and aluminum frame.

There were two more bikes of note, and Ken Bloomer sent us some specs and photos of even more bikes to lust after. The first is the Firefly Ti Cross with an Enve tapered fork. It features Campa Record 11, Chris King R45 Campa hubs with Enve 45 rims and a custom internal cable routing carbon stem. It’s total weight? A mere 6.5 kg.

Just about every bicycle manufacturer, large an small, has some sort of cyclocross offering here at the 2011 Eurobike bicycle trade show in Friedrichshafen, Germany.

Italian component manufacturer Campagnolo used the Taipei Cycling Show in Taiwan to unveil the latest additions to its array of cyclocross-specific components. The company started …

We’d heard rumors a while back about legendary Italian component manufacturer Campagnolo coming out with a gruppo specifically for cyclocross and have seen early photos but had been sworn to secrecy. Now, the first signs “of” that lineup are public in the form of the CX Power-Torque cranksets. Campagnolo purists or mix-and-match fans (see our revolutionary Perfect Cyclocross Shift article in Issue 9 and our popular online article on using Campy shifters with Shimano drivetrains) have another drivetrain component option that allows smaller chainrings. Presumably other components will accompany the crankset shortly, and we’ve already seen info about three cyclocross-specific aluminum clincher wheelsets coming to market soon.

Most ‘cross racers don’t have the luxury of component sponsors, don’t receive new bikes or new drivetrains each year, and lack pit crews to clean their bikes every lap. We at Cyclocross Magazine are no different, and as we choose parts for our ‘cross bikes, we take all these things under consideration in hand-picking our parts. Over the last few years, we’ve come to be fond of one particular setup: Campagnolo Ergopower shifters mated to Shimano derailleurs and cassettes. Some fondly call his setup “Shimergo.” What the hell? These two aren’t supposed to work, you say?
