how to tell what kind of campag cassette i have?
it came off a wheel and i have no use for it, was going to put it on ebay but didn't know what type it was. I couldn't see anywhere on it what model it is. Where should the model be listed?

cheers

I've never seen a model designation on any of my campy stuff but if it's a 10spd cassette and you have a digital scale this will get you close.

Record 10 = 188 grams
Chorus 10 = 220 grams
Centaur 10 = 233 grams
Veloce 10 = 250 grams

Record will have the 3 biggest rings made of titanium and a magnet will not attract. (Or if its uber slick will be all ti and it's likey you'd know it if it was)

Chorus will be all steel

Centaur & Veloce will be all steel with a more shiny finish than chorus when new, but finish tends to vary with mileage.

Chances are it's a Chorus or Veloce

I know this isn't a definitive answer but it's the best I could do from my desk.

is there no way to tell via the inside pattern on the inner cog?
It is a very distinctive looking pattern.
