Hey everybody,
I'm getting hard on my veloce 10 gears (39/53 front, 12-25 rear).
1. Is there any 12-27 campy cassete ? (couldn't find such on thier web site)
2. Would it fit my short cage rear der. ?
Any sugestions ?:idea:

1) No, but there is a 13-26 and a 13-29.
2) 13-26? Yes. 13-29? If you are careful not to go big/big.

Whatever you do, size the chain properly.

Edit: Changing the cage to a medium cage is trivial.

yeah -- the medium cage is for people who want to have a 13-29 and can't keep themselves from using it with the 53-tooth ring.

You can make yourself a 12-27 if you really want by swapping out the bottom of a 12-25 or something with the bigger section of another cassette, but if you aren't racing it you shouldn't need more than a 13 anyhow.
