The Campagnolo Cambio Corsa was a masterpiece of engineering.

I'd seen pictures, but seeing it in action was wonderful. I like how the chain length is dealt with!

To reply ppl on comment section. This era the cyclist on Tour de France needed to replace the entire wheel in order to change de gear ratio for climbing the mountains.

Crazy to see how far we have come from this. But never forget here we started

[mikesimon]

I do really like how campagnolo has been the pinnacle of bike innovation consistently over the years, and even nowadays, it is my favourite!

[jackknife]

I wouldn't go as far to say this is a masterpiece... Definitely revolutionary

Tulio Campagnolo invented the dork disk.

If youre somehow confused or shaming the design this was the time of the early TDF era, a time where they rode a with one gear and had to swap out the wheels to change gears, this was an early concept to save time and soon evolved to tube shifters then to brifters the STIs SRAM’s double tap system, Campagnolos famous thumb shifter and other stuff

Beautiful! I love vintage ideas and how they implemented them. Brilliant

[LarryTait]

My goodness, I will never complain about the sound my 12 spd gears make being slightly off index, swapping from gravel to my wahoo kicker v20 again

[skeetwebster]

Campy stuff was always beautiful! I had a bike with victory on it and it worked like a Rolex ! The Shimano stuff was good, but campy was art!

[BlueyChandler]

Fascinatingly intricate for the period.

[Kal-fctr]

Yes it's crazy bro, so ingenious systèm 🤙😎🤘

[angelroom]

So simple yet so profound. Thats what makes winners

[odilonmoreira]

é uma peça maravilhosa, obra de arte, o primórdio do shifter, lindo demais ❤

[morpheoist]

Campagnolo in Italy is famous for inventing quick wheel releases. the stick shift was the normal evolution. However, as an Italian I have seen thousands of quick releases but it is the first time I have seen the gearbox.
and....I wouldn't trust myself to unhook the wheel while driving😂

Still gettin hype everytime I see how vintage mechanism works specially in vintage bicycles like the suicide shifters

[JoseLucero-vm]

Que grande campañolo lo mejor en repuestos siempre soy Pedro Antonio de San Luis Argentina

[christoforobarra]

How does the hub move in both drop outs equally, rather than being pulled forward on the drive side? Do you hold the wheel straight while doing this?

[tomast]

i have some old motobecane bicycle parts. there are helical inner grooves on rear sprocket cassette.

In the early 1960's I remember seeing this mechanism on another cyclists bike and asking about it. It was out of date by then as everybody was using derailleur gears from various makers.
