Campagnolo tools

sunburntknees

Ok, so I'm doing a bike build using a Campag 11 speed drivetrain. Do I need any 'special' tools?

I guess I will need a spanner for the BB cups???

What about the casette? Does that have a unique tool?

Do I need a special 11 speed chain tool or will a standard device do?

Excuse my ignorance but I've only done this with Shimano before.

Thanks

The cassette tool is different and you need a special chain joining tool.

The campagnolo chain tool is about 80 royal foils, The park tools one is about 45 and there is an Ice Toolz one you can get for around 20 sheets. If you use a normal one you risk having the chain break on you apparently. You can take it to a good shop who should have the tool too, I would hope.

The IceToolz one, by all accounts is not very good. I would be inclined to get the official campag one, which peens the link, as I did recently with the 10 speed version. Gets the job done properly.

The cassette is just a standard campag lockring one I think. Or perhaps it's not.

The cassette is indeed a standard Campag one.

I've also got the IceToolz chain tool and you can use it to peen the link by gently using it in reverse (not ideal I know), since the metal that needs to be peened is quite soft.

edit : I think the BB cups are only put on hand tight (with loctite), so you don't really need the BB cup tool yet (you will to get then off again though!)

Is there a 'powerlink'-type device for 11 speed yet?

It would appear there is:

None in stock though.

A 10 speed Powerlink works fine on the SR11 setup!
