Broken a Campy crank? Yup, sure did. And, I also broke a Mavic SSC one day. Forgot all about both until now. I did, however, manage to break a Campy Nouvo Record shifter earlier today..

I've Never seen a Campagnolo Super Record crank break nor has anyone I know told me they snapped one , and I've been around.
I have a few Super Record Cranks that have been on the same bikes for over 30 years under some tough conditions and Never had an issue with any of them. And Im not a skinny guy and I do ride my bikes harder than most.
If somebody broke a Campy Crank they probably jumped off alot of curbs or screwed with the cranks somehow.

Never raced or abused it - just normal riding by a recreational rider/commuter.
Never payed much attention to it during it's 30 year life with me (I was the original owner).

Yes, Im very well aware of the differences in the Campy Cranks. I simply didnt say Nouvo Record because the rings look uglier than Sh*t.

Perhaps @Manny66 would illustrate the difference between NR and SR crankarms. I, too, am under the impression that it is the chainrings and bottom bracket that are different and not the arms. But other than the few NR pieces I own, I have little experience with Campagnolo components.

The Topic has been covered ad nauseam already.
I call Strada Cranks with Super Record Rings , Super Record Cranks.Its a very common term use by Many people refeering to Campy Cranks, Its just a simple way to refer to them as that. Some might disagree and thats O.K.
That cudak888 is the resident Expert on Everything and anything , Im sure he's probably stomping his feet and throwing a tantrum in his basement because I used the term Super Record Cranks again.
