Question:
I am about to order a new triathlon bike and I want to use Campy 11 speed so my wheels will interchange with my road bike. Someone told me that Campy is not making triathlon components anymore. What gives?
Answer:
You bring up a very good point as there is much mystery surrounding Campagnolo's products these days. They have severely limited availability on 10 speed products and have not offered an 11 speed shifter. There were times this year where I could not source chains from anywhere in the country. This is a huge disappointment as the 11 speed product is fantastic, but with limited availability (read planned obsolescence) of the 10 speed systems and no shifter in sight for 11 speed, I now recommend SRAM or Shimano for triathletes. I prefer SRAM over Shimano for time trial drive train but either is fine.
I will make an announcement if Campagnolo decides to support triathlon and time trialing in the future.
