Is there a Centaur carbon compact crank?

I was under the impression that the Centaur crank was staying Al this year.

But, cbike.com says that one can be upgraded to for $120 (see http://www.cbike.com/groups2.htm).

Do such cranks exist?

i don’t know but when you order it post pics and a report ;). how does the weight of centaur compare to 105 and ultegra?

I think centaur is about like Ultegra weight wise, maybe just a few grams heavier.

I’m not sure where you are reading the the Centaur compact comes in carbon, all I can see is this:

2007 Campagnolo Centaur 10 speed Group without Headset or Hubs (8 pieces) $779.99

  • and this -

There is a Centaur Carbon Compact Crankset. There however is NOT a carbon one for 2007 with the new BB system. The lower image is of the 2007 groupset.

wow. great looking crankset. What is the bcd for it? 110?

You know, I have no clue what the BCD is of the compacts - I need to find out. I have the new Record Carbon 2007 Ultra Torque in 53/39 but that will be 135 like all prior Campy I am sure.

It should be a standard 110.

And you’re probably better off with the old style tapered square anyway… :slight_smile:

Of course not, Campag is above adopting petty standards set by other, inferior companies. It’s slightly different from 110.
