Campy 11 speed FD braze on to clip on conversion
The Campy website says no on question #5
http://www.campagnolo.com/jsp/en/faq/faqcatid_9.jsp#78 Is this really true as I am considering using a Problem Solvers 28.6 mm adapter clamp on a not-yet-purchased Athena 11 speed groupset? Thanks. -Mike |

Thanks. -Mike I believe older Campy front der's, clamp-on or braze-on, were the same for the most part, and you could interchange the part that attached to the frame - a clamp or a bolt-to-braze-on fitting. So you could convert the der. fully from a braze-on to clamp-on derailleur. I suspect that Campy's site means to say that you can't do this with the 11s front der's. As to the Problem Solvers adapter clamp, the derailleur doesn't know or care what sort of "braze-on" fitting it's bolted to - brazed on steel or bolt-on aluminum (or glued on carbon fiber, for that matter). Should work fine, I would think. Mark J. |

One may no longer swap the bodies[1] but an adapter, although maybe an aesthetic problem, will work just fine.

Thanks. -Mike Mike & Andrew are both right. Campy's answer to #5 is unclear, perhaps due to translation. Another example is their answer to #11 -- the question was about availability of a straight block (11-21) & campagnolo completely missed the point. - Sergio Moretti |
