Laurent Fignon (pre-Tour de France days) lost Paris-Tours due to a broken Campag Ti BB axle. The next year, the Renault-Elf team wasn't using Campag.

Back in the day, Campag had a generous warrantee for all their customers. Not any more.

Paris-Brest-Paris gets 5000 riders. That sounds like a popular event to me.

The SRAM 10sp link is a PITA but their 8sp and 9sp links are good. I understand that Wippermann makes Mavic's chains, which are often reasonably priced.

The UCI has nothing to do with tandem racing, so they don't regulate equipment, position or anything else.

Airflow between 'fixed objects' (like fork blades) and spinning wheels is non-intuitive. Sometimes more clearance is less drag.

It is easier and faster to bang the wing mirror. Horizontally if you are being nice, vertically if not.
