	November 9, 2005--Server problems at our web hosting provider resulted in the loss of all our rumors since October 16 ... and all other changes to the web site since then. We apologize for the inconvenience.
	October 13, 2005--Photos from Campagnolo's display at Interbike are now online:  Click here to see next year's stuff  Among the items on display were the new V-brake style calipers to go with the recently introduced "flat bar" controls--the basic ingredients of an all-Campy mountain bike are once more in place ...
	October 3, 2005--Component maker Full Speed Ahead is still looking to overtake Campagnolo's #2 spot. Rumor has it that FSA is working on a complete 11-speed gruppo that will expand their offerings from cranks, wheels, handlebars, etc., to include derailleurs, levers, and brakes. We've used FSA's cranksets and bars like them--let's see how the new gruppo looks ...
	October 3, 2005--Coming soon to Campy Only: Photos from Interbike, the big US cycling trade show.  We've heard so far that Campy's people were ... less than friendly.  Their booth also kept all the parts behind glass.  Over at the ShimaNO booth, you could touch and feel all the new stuff.
	September 25, 2005--Richard Sachs has a new crop of jerseys available. 2006 team jerseys are now in stock as are a few other matching items. Please scroll down at this link to order: http://www.richardsachs.com/rsachstoys.html
	September 19, 2005--More rumors floating out there about the potential release of a 12-speed system by ShimaNO, and the inevitable speculation about whether Campagnolo will follow (or try to beat them to it).  Campy Only asks once again, "When will this madness end?"  Really, folks, you don't need 12 cogs!  Or even 10 ...
	September 16, 2005--A friend spotted this photo of Dennis Bean Larson, the mind behind the great Fixed Gear Gallery, wearing a Campy Only jersey!  When Dennis isn't riding a fixie, it's obviously Campy all the way!
	September 13, 2005--We have photos from Campagnolo's booth at the annual Eurobike trade show. Click here to see what your bike shop will have next year
	September 2, 2005--Campagnolo's official web site (www.campagnolo.com) has been updated with news about the 2006 product line.  The only "news" that we haven't published yet is about the return of cantilever brakes.  Cantis, which disappeared from Campagnolo's lineup with the demise of their off-road gruppos in the 1990s, will be offered in Veloce and Mirage trim for 2006.  Add them to Campy's "flat bar" controls, a triple crank, and a long-cage rear derailleur, and you have the basic building blocks for a Campy-equipped mountain bike ... The brakes are "linear pull" (think V-brakes).  Like other V-brakes, they also include a built-in quick release, which kind of answers the question we posed on August 13 (see below) about the lack of a quick release in the flat bar levers ... There are a few more goodies coming to a bike shop near you, including a new bottle with a conical shape (that looks like a lot of other bottles we've seen), a new under-bottom-bracket cable guide, and slightly lighter entry-level brakes in the Xenon and Mirage lines.
	August 30, 2005--Discover rider Benoit Joachim with ShimaNO's new "quick release" crankset.  See Cyclingnews.com for the big picture: http://www.cyclingnews.com/photos/2005/vuelta05/index.php?id=vuelta052/2_14g
	August 29, 2005--Overheard in an Orange County, California, bike shop: "Shimano front derailleurs work better than Campagnolo. Campagnolo's rear derailleurs work great, but they've fallen behind in front derailleurs."  Sorry to say, we've heard similar complaints from other mechanics, who have gone as far as mounting ShimaNO front derailleurs on otherwise all-Campy systems ...
	August 17, 2005--One of the prizes in our 1,000,000th Visitor Contest was a complete Joe Bell paint job.  Click here to see how the winner's bike turned out.  Thank you to Joe Bell for providing this prize!
	August 16, 2005--The Richard Sachs/CYBC Cyclocross team has announced its lineup for the coming season, as well as its list of sponsors.  Click here for more info.
	August 16, 2005--Anyone who would like to road test a prototype system to turn a Campy 9/10-speed bicycle into a single-speed is invited to contact Eric Hassett.  You need to have a set of Campy wheels, a standard road frame (not a track frame) with horizontal dropouts, and a smattering of mechanical ability.  Eric will fill you in with the details.
	August 13, 2005--A reader who is using Campagnolo's new "flat bar" controls points out a flaw that makes one wonder "what were they thinking?":  There is no quick-release on the levers to open the brakes and make it easier to install and remove the wheels.  Modern Campagnolo brake calipers (the brakes themselves) don't have quick-releases on them, so Campagnolo puts them on the brake levers. On Ergo levers, it's that little pin that you push to one side.  Campagnolo's answer to the flat bar lever dilemma is that you are supposed to use the brake adjusting barrel and use it to open the brakes. That's just dumb--it's slow, and makes it a "not quick" release.
	August 9, 2005--While we're on the subject, here's another sorta cool product: Soma's new "crystal poly" water bottle.  Click here for Campy Only's road test
	August 7, 2005--One of the coolest new gadgets we've seen in a while is a small lock from Master, the "Pit Stop." It's about the size and weight of a tiny cel phone, includes a thin, 2-foot-long cable that retracts into the lock, and uses a 3-number combination lock that you can set yourself. No, it won't stop a determined thief, but it's just the thing for quickly locking your bike while you go into a store. We paid $12.99 for ours at a local bike shop. Well worth it for the peace of mind.
	August 7, 2005--Word has been out for a little while, but here's the latest scoop on Campagnolo's upcoming 2006 lineup: --As we have reported here previously (back in June), the Record and Chorus compact cranks (offered only in carbon) will be joined by alloy versions for the Centaur, Veloce, and Mirage lineups. This is a real boon for riders (like us) who either wanted an alloy version and/or didn't want to fork over the big $$$ for the carbon cranks. --A new Eurus wheelset will be offered, using different front and rear rims to keep overall weight to 1510 grams a pair. G3 spoking on the rear, radial on the front. Campy Only is getting away from "boutique" wheels, but the Eurus has been a very popular wheelset, and the new lighter model will be welcomed by many riders --Also look for a new, lighter Record chain in an "ultra-narrow" width ... and with hollow pins! Campy Only's take on the new stuff?  We love the fact that an alloy compact crankset is available--this has been an inexplicable hole in the line-up that we're glad to see plugged. The new Eurus wheels are nice, but as we said, we're sticking with regular wheels that you can fix in East Nowhere if you lose a spoke. We don't use 10-speed due to the narrow chains, so an even narrower chain is not of much use to us.  Overall, with the exception of the compact cranks, we give 2006 a big yawn.  For more info, see Cycling News' report, at http://www.cyclingnews.com/tech/?id=2005/news/07-28

	June 22, 2005--We're hearing rumors floating around Vicenza that Campagnolo will unveil a 12-speed Record gruppo for 2006.  No details yet on how they would fit two more cogs on the hub.  More details as we get them ...
	June 20, 2005--In the "it's about time" category comes a report that Campagnolo will offer clamp-on adaptors for derailleurs to fit 32 and 35mm seat tubes--with a Campy logo.  Look for them in shops with the rest of the '06 lineup around early Fall.
	June 17, 2005--Sachs Seeks Sponsors!--You've lusted after the bikes--here is your chance to be a sponsor: Bid Now to be a Sachs Sponsor!
	June 15, 2005--Looking forward to the rollout of the 2006 line, here's what we're hearing will be added to Campagnolo's product lineup for next year: >>Carbon brakes for the Record gruppo.  Well, alloy wrapped in carbon, but it's part of Campagnolo's ongoing efforts (which we have reported on in the past) to produce an all-carbon gruppo that will also include ... >>Carbon hubs for the Record gruppo.  Alloy hubs will also still be available. >>An alloy compact crankset in the Veloce gruppo.  Not as good as the Record version we've been hoping for, but a great alternative for anyone who wants a compact crankset and either doesn't want to fork over the price of a carbon version or just prefers the look of alloy. Campagnolo's is feeling pressure from component maker FSA, which is doing land office business with its compact cranksets (we've been using one for about a year now--read our impressions here) and from ShimaNO, which will introduce its own compact crank/derailleur next year.
	May 29, 2005--Coffee, anyone? We review Soma's "Morning Rush" cup/holder combo. Click Here
	May 23, 2005--Hmmmm ... a reader points out that Campagnolo's square-taper bottom brackets aren't being discounted like the cranksets they fit.  He suggests that Campy is taking aim at Full Speed Ahead, which famously declared some time ago that they would overtake Campagnolo for the second spot in component sales (behind ShimaNO).  Just what are they up to?
	May 22, 2005--Our inbox has been filling with messages from Campy fans wondering whether the spate of deep discounts from '05 Record carbon cranksets and other gear (one online retailer is selling the Record carbon for 28% off its regular price; the compact version was 30% off) is an indication that the rumored release of an ISIS-style bottom bracket/crankset combo is about to happen.  We'll let you know if we hear anything more ... In the meantime, check out our February 7 rumor: click here
	May 6, 2005--Who Needs Gears, Anyway? We'll be riding the Davis Double Century on our Campy-equipped fixed gear  Watch for photos and videos: 200 miles in one gear, with no coasting!  (Click here for last year's Davis DC photos)

	February 7, 2005--Is the end in sight for tapered cranks?  A Campy Only reader who is associated with the cycling industry was on the phone with a Campagnolo rep recently when they (the rep) let slip about a new bottom bracket being in the works.  After that slip, nothing ... Many observers have asked when Campagnolo will go with an ISIS-like bottom bracket, or perhaps external bearings.  We'll post more info here when we get it.

	February 1, 2005--A flat bar controls sighting from a C-O readerin the UK:  "I saw my first FlatBar Ergo equipped bike out on the road today. I was stopped by the side of the road and this guy rides up to me and asks me whether I know why he can't get the chain on to the big ring. I put it down to the limiting screw on his front mech and we soon got chatting about his new Centaur FB levers. He had had them put on by his LBS recently as he found drop bars uncomfortable. He didn't sound overly knowledgable about Campag or bikes in general despite having a triple Record/Chorus set up.....he didn't know whether Centaur was bottom or top of the range....though he was at least wise enough to know my Deltas looked good....and that my Colnago might be Italian!!!"
	January 14, 2005--Reader John offers these predictions for Campy gruppos of the future: After electronic shifting comes electronic gear selection, one selects the next ratio or percentage change desired and the front , rear or both derailleurs move to make the change requested. The Campagnolo Carbon front end, integration of the front fork, brake, headset, bars & stem into one combined assembly, meeting the need for less weight and ease of production for the frame manufacturers. The road disc brake, drawing on previous design experience with cable and hydraulic disc calipers for the motorcycle industry Campagnolo translates this into a superior all weather brake system first shown in the winter classics.
