I called Colorado Cyclist yesterday to place an order, I am
buying the Chours group. I asked for the Chours 7speed set up and
they said they are shipping all the Campy 7speed groups with the
Syncro 2 shift levers. I thought that was great until I heard that
Syncro 2 will not work with the Chours group. Is this true or just
dust in the wind???

| 740.1 | Syncro Setup | ECAVAX::FOX | Fri Jul 08 1988 14:56 | 13 | |
I am riding a Campy Record C group. I innitially installed this
group with a Synchro I. It did not work well. I have replaced it
with a Synchro II. It is a great improvement. However it is still
not 100%. The problem is the Record C derailer is not a slant
parallelagram, making the pully too far away from the free wheel,
especially on the lg chain ring. Although chorus is a slant para.
it does not have the positive action of Croce D'Aune. The spacing
of a 7 speed makes necessary overshifting of campy tight. I know
someone local that recently installed Syncro II and Chorus. I will talk
to him and get back to you. I feel the best set up for Campy Syncro
probably will be a good quality stiff chain (regina america), Croce
D'Aune, and an evenly spaced free wheel (regina america, shimano
600).

| 740.2 | opinions on Chorus? | IAMOK::WESTER | Fri Jul 08 1988 17:02 | 3 | |
I'd be real interested in opinions on Campy Chorus. I'm looking
at a Richard Sachs that comes with Chorus, and I'm curious as to
how well it performs.

Joe,
I have tested the Chorus/syncro II. I did not answer your note 740,
I messed up and wrote to note 800. You will find it there.
