    Yes
    Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos

    You can run any chainset you want, they are not groupset specific.
  • Great thanks I've spent enough money already :lol:

    Although not what you asked but campag 10 shifters are the best starter/budget shifters to go for because along with campag 10, they will also shift Shimano 7,8 and 9 speed set ups. there is some debate as to how efficiently it will shift 10 speed Shimano. They will also shift double or triple chain sets.
    One of the ways I run this is to run 9 speed in summer and then once the salt is on the road, swap my good wheels for old ones with a cheap seven speed block. This saves my good kit and a cheap chain and block will only cost me about fifteen quid which should last the winter out.
