Campagnolo HO Chainsets
Hello,
I've noticed that Campy has started selling groupsets and chainsets that are labeled "HO" (Hydraulic Optimized).
They explain that it is designed for bikes with 142 mm dropouts, but they will work with rim brakes as well.
I have never seen a "HO" set in real life, so I am having a difficult time understanding how the chainline is not way off for rim brake applications with 130 mm dropouts.
Campy also claims that HO does not change the Q-factor.
Could someone explain how they achieve a decent chainline and the same Q-Factor with the same chainset?
Thanks!
