Gotta go with Campy. Have a pair that were on my first 73 Bottecchia pro. Put them on my 75 Jim Redcay, changed the blocks to Aztec. Raced and crashed them for fifteen years. Wet or dry. Retired them to my fixed gear bike, which didn't get much use. Just put them on my old Presto to take it for a spin and they are still just fine. The leveres show a lot of road rash but they are as good as any brake I own. In my opinion Campy, Best Brakes, but Worst Brake Blocks...I know I'm not the only one with that opinnion.
