    Jim if you do decide to go with the Campy Record C10
    Ultra then please read this:

    As described in the instruction sheet, you have to use a
    high precision (0,01 mm resolution) caliper gauge to measure,
    in different points of the chain, the length between six links
    (as indicated in the figure on the instruction sheet) and if even
    one of the measurement is longer than 132.60 mm the chain
    must be replaced.

    Fab is strictly high tech. I am strictly low tech. If I were starting over
    again I would go out to Wal-Mart and get their special on sale bike for
    $55.00 and I would be more than happy with it. I know I could ride around
    the world with it too. The question for all of us to ponder is what is the
    level of happiness that corresponds with how much money we spend.

    I have always found that the best things in life are free. In fact, if I
    have to pay much for anything at all, I decline - knowing that the world is
    full of [censored] and price is never any object for the vast majority of mankind.
    Fab thinks he is happy with his high tech, expensive gear. But if you can be
    happy with low tech, inexpensive gear, then who is the wiser man? The
    happiness level is the same for both. I maintain that is better to be a
    happy fool than a perpetually unhappy wise man. And I know Fab is never
    really happy with all his high tech, expensive gear. That is because I know
    human nature!

    Tom, you would have made an excellent reference librarian. I was one of the
    worst reference librarians that ever was because I had no desire to be
    helpful to anyone. As a matter of fact, I was mostly [censored] when ever
    anyone would come to me for some help. I was booted out of the reference
    department when it was realized that I was not suited for the job.You can
    see that on this newsgroup also where I never have the slightest desire to
    help anyone with their problems. Screw it! If they are literate there is no
    reason why they can't solve their own quest for information.

    Slight differences in performance of different bikes simply doesn't interest
    me at all. Cycling beats walking. That is all I know and all I need to know.
    Let me repeat once again for all the dunderheads here - cycling beats
    walking.

    I don't use Campy stuff. Shimano works fine for me. For the price of one
    Campy group, I could have outfitted 3 trikes. Plus, lots of discarded bikes
    with lots of universal parts. Campy is way too proprietary and not worth it
    for what I do with bike parts and where I get them.
