Veloce 9 speed questions
I have an opportunity to buy a 1999 bike with Veloce components at a
reasonably low price. My plans are to strip the components and install them on a early 1990's vintage Colnago. Are there any major obstacles to look out for? Are repair parts readily available for that year's components? Is there any compatability issues with Veloce components through the past 6 years? Thanks, Ed |

Thanks, Ed everything should be fine. but veloce hubs are really cheezy [poor bearing quality]. i would definitely make an upgrade there. |

Thanks, Ed May have to 'cold set' the rear triangle to 130mm and the BB shell for the Colnago is Italian. 1999 9s veloce is like 2005 10s veloce, Everything current will work with that gruppo. 9s cogsets and chains are plentiful. If ya ever want to convert the lever to 10s, that is easy as well. |

FH-19VL....Same with the front, Same axle, bearings, etc. Veloce hubs of today are steel axled and cart bearings but altho portly, VERY long lasting cart bearings, NOT cheezy at all. |

If ya ever want to convert the lever to 10s, that is easy as well. So what exactly needs to be replaced to upgrade 1999 9s to 10s? A shift disk, maybe some lever springs, chain and cassette, is that it? |

A shift cam, which necessitates removal of the through bolt, makes for a complete conversion. Often the cam is omitted because it's tricky to get to. The Cam is inexpensive. |

Veloce 9 speed questions
On my 2001 Bianchi Campione, with 9S Veloce, the Front Hub has
conventional Cups/Bearings, the Rear is Cartridge type. Before 10 miles were put on the Bike, I broke down both hubs, cleaned out the almost non-existant crappy grease, and re-lubed, and lashed both Hubs. I've had zero problems, and they are every bit as smooth as my Record 10S Hubs on my Paramount 50th. (No, they're not as pretty though) :-) If you find your Colnago Frame is "very close" to 130mm. I mean something like 127mm-128mm, you might just be able to "squeeze" the rear Hub in without any frame stretching/modifications. Tire changes will be a little bit harder though. Mark |

Veloce 9 speed questions
On my NOS Schwinn Paramount 50th Anniv. Frame, and my build-up last
year, I went with all 2004 Record Drivetrain Components. My rear dropout spacing was just a tad over 128mm (Something like 128.858mm with a Dial Caliper) Just a very slight stretching was required with my fingers, and slight finger pressure , which I don't think will ever be a problem for me, and shouldn't be for you. While my Wipperman SS Chain, and smallest cog of a 13-26 Cassette appeared sort of close to the right rear dropout on this 1989 Frameset, so far I haven't had any problems. I'm hoping Peter Chisholm will answer your question about the dating/upgradeability of Campy Veloce Ergos. He's the Campy Expert here. Mark |
