Campagnolo Disc Brakes

Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea on road bikes, but disc brakes have definitely carved their deserved place in the market in the last few years. As many of you know, some of the biggest news for 2018 was the arrival of the Campagnolo Groupsets equipped with hydraulic disc brakes. As a Campagnolo Pro-Shop, we have attended the product training and seen all these new products extensively. Our opinion is that, if disc brakes are your choice, Campagnolo ones will make you very happy… Yes, Campagnolo have entered the market quite late compared with their competitors but this has been to their advantage; they’ve launched a superior product, which also looks great. One very good point is that Campagnolo is the only manufacturer who addressed the different chainline (due to the wider standard rear end), and accordingly re-designing all the chainsets, in order to keep the shifting as perfect is it can be. Absolutely top stuff… you can see more here in the Campagnolo website…. or browse the Campagnolo products availability from the official UK distributor: Chicken Cycle Kit.
