Well, I tried to be cheap and got caught with a nasty.
A BBB cassette and Campy chain will not run in the 13. Every other
gear is fine (10s, 11-23).
Both parts brand spanking new.
As well, the lock ring is longer than a genuine campy one, and I
suspect interferes with the cassette bearing, and doesn't have the
same positive "click" as you tighten it up.
I used the old 11 and campy lock ring. Much better.
I couldn't recommend BBB cassettes after this exercise.
If you want to go cheap buy Veloce. No need to mess/experiment with
third party parts. Well, you found out by yourself.
I still have the Ti cogs of my original Record cassette. They don't get
used much. The other cogs are replaced from time to time with
Veloce/Centaur ones.
I couldn't see an 11-23 in anything below Centaur from Ribble. At
$83.79 AUD compared with $41.98 AUD for the BBB, I thought the BBB was
worth a try. Never again.
