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.

Re: Audax - What is it?
Paris-Brest-Paris gets 5000 riders. That sounds like a popular event to me.

Re: Wippermann Connex
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.

Re: P17 ROY the elbow clipper - my sweet revenge
