    Favorite Ride:

    Bike Setup:
    Trek 5200, Campy Chorus drivetrain, Record hubs, Kings headset, Thomson seatpost, TTT bars, Ritchey stem, Time pedals

    Summary:
    Excellent product! I had the local pro bike shop build up a set of Mavic Open Pro laced to the 28-hole Record hubs 3-crossed (14/15 DB spokes) front and rear. Note that I only weigh around 150 lbs. and that you should always have custom wheels built according to your weigh and their intended use. Over the last 2.5 years, I had to ask the shop to true them only once after I blew out the rear tire from a bad puncture while doing almost 40 mph down a long hill with my paniers. The rear wheel was so well built that it was still straight enough for me to ride even after coming to stop at high speed on a flat tire. I have over 3500 miles on my Campy Record Open Pros and they are still going strong. They are my wheelset of choice when I climb the local mountains because of their light weigh and strength to handle all the miles of very rough road on the descents. I am so confident in these wheels that I use them regularly when I carry my paniers on my commutes. These things are so rock solid that I ordered a second custom wheelset based on Campy Record hubs - Mavic CXP-33 (semi-aero) with exactly the same buildup configuration as my Open Pro wheels.

    Strengths:
    Light, strong, beautiful durable finish, and reliable. The Campy grease do not have to be replaced until after 15,000 miles! When built correctly, they can handle lots of abuse and still get you home. Super smooth (when you have not replaced the original Campy grease, they will spin forever). Lovely internals - the bearings sing when you cruise at high speed.

    Weaknesses:
    Before I was told about the Campy 15,000 mile between grease overhaul, I had the shop replace the original grease after a year. The new lighter weigh grease required for the injection port leaked everywhere out of the exhaust ports on the hubs for the first two dozen rides. Very messy.

    Bike Setup:
    Crown Jewel - see last post

    Summary:
    In follow up of my last post, I've been informed by my LBS that they have had 4 Campy rear hubs returned to them in the last 2 weeks alone for the identical cracking problem I had. 3 Chorus and 1 Record. They are convinced that there is a significant production problem going on. Fortunately the hubs are covered by a 3 year warranty. All Campy hub owners would be well advised to have their rear hubs inspected. The problem seems to be limited to the the drive side spoke flange and the crack pattern has been identical on all hubs they have seen. Take the time now and avoid what could be a catastrophic failure at speed. Based on the apparent scope of the problem, I am lowering my rating on what is otherwise a stellar product.

    Strengths:
    None

    Favorite Ride:
    Frenchtown and back

    Bike Setup:
    Independent Fabrication Crown Jewel, Chris King headset, Record hubs, drivetrain and brakes, Open Pro rims

    Summary:
    Great hubs except for the puzzling cracks. Have 4500 miles on the hubs on roads that suffer the normal vagaries of a 4 season climate. Fortunately the 3 year warranty should cover the hub and it was time to put new spokes on anyway. Just glad I discovered the cracks before the rim went catastrophically out of true on a 48 mph descent. Lesson to be learned is that it's worth the time to be anally compulsive about cleaning and inspecting every nook and cranny of my bike every 2-3 weeks otherwise I never would have noticed the cracks.

    Strengths:
    Finish, smoothness, tight tolerances, weight

    Weaknesses:
    spoke flange on drive side has multiple cracks. grease leaks past seals occasionally even though seals and surfaces are unblemished

    Favorite Ride:
    any that's fast

    Bike Setup:
    •2000 Litespeed Tuscany.
    •Wound-Up CF threadless.
    •Campy Record 10.
    •Cane Creek BRS-200SL brake calipers.
    •Other parts from TTT, Deda, ITM, Selle Italia, King, Vittoria, Dugast, etc.

    Summary:
    These are excellent and lightweight hubs. They have the typical great looks and classy finish that the world has come to expect from Campy.

    I have the Record HPW hubs on my Shamal and Nucleon tubulars, and the separate Record rear hub as part of a built-up set of clinchers for less than 6 months total riding time, but I've had no problems with any of them so far. When maintenance time comes around, which won't be for several hundred miles yet, they'll be a cinch to service.

    As far as the grease ports: I really don't see a need to use them. The wheels roll smoothly and will for quite some time. Once you start using grease thin enough to inject into the ports, you'll have to do it fairly regularly. The problem is that the excess grease will sometimes seep out of the sides and fly all over the bike and wheels. This would necessitate a time-consuming clean-up operation every time you grease the hubs. Best to leave it be until the scheduled 2500-3000 mile maintenance period.

    All things considered, Campy Record's are one of the best hubs on the market, if not THE best, and they beat ShimaNO's best effort by a mile. The only other hubs I would even consider putting on my road bike (for a custom wheelset with 28, 32 or 36 holes) are the Mavic MR-601's.

    Strengths:
    •At around 250 gms., it's one of the lightest available.
    •Durability.
    •Ease of maintenance.
    •Typical Campy fit 'n finish.

    Weaknesses:
    •The only one I can think of is that Record hubs aren't available in a 24H option for the rear, and 24H or 18H for the front.

    Similar Products Used:
    •Mavic MR-601, Shimano D/A & Ultegra, American Classic, others.
