| July 19, 2006--Info from the Riis
Cyclery in Denmark. A PDF with photos of all the
2007 gruppos is here
The
greatest changes are to find in the crankset. The axel will be split in
the middle and each arm will form an L shape. The joint between the two
axels is a Hirth Joint which is highly used throughout the automotive
industry. It is joined by an aluminium bolt tightened with 42nm. The
bearings are attached on the axel and you will only mount the cups on
the frame. The with of the box and Q-Factor are the same as prior and
will not be increased by the new Ultra Torque bearing/axel system.
Another of the great news is the Skeleton brakes. There are bearings in
the joints on the Record brakes. They will still be double pivot. The
Skeleton brakes will be available from Veloce and up.
Centaur will get a new carbon rear derailluer and carbon ErgoPower
shifters. The price will abaut the same as existing Centaur.
