Tell me which 9-speed Rear Campag Mech to buy

calvjones

For my 2007ish Veloce'd commuter, triple (with max 25 sprocket on the back)

Xenon 9 - £33

Veloce (black) 10 - £47

Daytona 9 - £52

Chorus - £60+

Is there any functional/construction difference, or would I be paying £20 to avoid a black Xenon mech? The Daytona spec implies it's a bit different to Veloce/Chorus?

Thanks in advance,

Cal

Generally the only difference as the range goes up (as does the price) is that the weight comes down.

At the end of the day its a series of metal cogs that allow you to turn your pedalling into forward motion via a chain.

Sorry for hijack, I've got an old Veloce rear mech (silver) that used to run a 25T cassette no problems - yours for a fraction of the cost of new - PM me if interested.

I've recently replaced the Veloce 9 speed rear mech on a 1999 Ribble. I got a Xenon 9 speed and had no trouble in getting it set up and indexing well. Paid less than £30. I did read on the web somewhere (an American site I think) that Campag modified 9 speed kit later on and there would be compatibility issues mixing new and old but I haven't had any problems in the 3 weeks or so since fitting the Xenon mech.

'Daytona' was thee original name for what Campag now call 'Centaur' - there was a trade-mark issue.
