Only the square taper alloy cranks had a 110 BCD. All the other Carbon square taper and UT cranks have 110 BCD with the odd one 112. TA makes compatible rings though. Best bet is to get a standard 135 crankset and get a 46T ring. I would prefer to keep Campy cranks because I just like the Ultra Torque design that much.

That's not totally true. I use a Campy compact crank and it has all 110 holes. I use an FSA 46T outer with Campy 36T inner. It's an older square taper all metal Centaur crank though. I believe all the new UT cranks have the one 112 hole. And like Andrew said, you can probably grind one of the holes on the chainring out to 112 if you are adventurous.

actually, to be super specific, there's one hole on the campagnolo compact crank that's 112, and the others are 110. So, ring modification could make it work.

Campy Compact Rings = 112 (as I learned nearly two years ago, on this very thread!) I've been using the FSA Energy cranks with 36/46 and 12-25 Campy Chorus for the rest for the past two seasons, and its still rolling well.

I don't know the size on Campy Compact rings - is it 110? I run all Campy gear on my bikes and opted to go with FSA and some other brand cranks. They are easier to get chainrings for. I don't use compact so with a standard 130 I can go as small as a 38 on the inner. With a 135 Campy you can only go down to 39. Plus Campy rings and stuff are more expensive, etc. You just don't need a Campy crank is what I'm saying ...

Thanks Andrew. Exactly what I thought about the "Escape". So now is it's Chorus/Record to get that old-style campy performance at a little, err, lot higher price. I've always liked to stay with a little more "disposable" group for cross. Call me cheap but planting carbon Record Ergos in mud, sand, or dirt seems a little extravagant when it's coming out of my pocket ...<br />

Didn't even get to enjoy the QS feature since I needed a QS front mech, apparently, to make it work "Quicker". Let me calculate how much that would cost for each fraction of a second saved for the two chainring shifts I make every lap ... hmmmm. Gee haven't seen numbers like that since calculating the cost/speed ratio of ceramic bearings ...

hey surly,<br />
<br />
fyi, the lack of ability to jump down gears on centaur and lower is the "escape" mechanism on the shifters. sad, cuz that was one of the best things I liked about campy shifters. thus, the older centaur/veloce stuff is better IMHO than the newer stuff. If you can afford chorus/record, then that should be the same.<br />
<br />
The QS is for the front derailleur...which from what I've heard, seems to be a good thing, but the Escape stuff sucks.<br />

Don't worry, I appreciate any suggestions or any criticism of my crazy ideas you have the time to share. I know, I ain't the best wrench on the block so I thought I just routed something "kinky" so I switched back to the old ergos (same cables, housing) and everything was dropping rock solid. (But maybe the new QS is more demanding about routing?) And the problem wasn't with the FD- that actually worked okay, it was the lack of ability to jump down gears with the RD that I found disturbing.…

(But maybe the new QS is more demanding about routing?) And the problem wasn't with the FD- that actually worked okay, it was the lack of ability to jump down gears with the RD that I found disturbing. It's just the way that thing works, I guess, unless there's some way to pull out the "stops". I think what Campy has done is try to get that easy "clicky" shifting of Shimano instead of the higher-resistant yet more positive "wham-bam-thank-you-mam" campy shift. I think they gave up a good thing. Are you using the QS stuff?<br />
<br />
Also: I switched to a Shimano FD from the Campy FD a couple of years ago because I also found it finicky. Again, I thought that might have been my ham-fisted wrenching, but glad to hear there's actually something to it.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the input Kiwi, you're always a big help ...<br />

(Speaking of goofy design what is your take on the new Ergo 11 /Super Record hoods?!?!?!?)
