Next Best Thing to a Tool They Don't Make
A lockring is used in two places: to hold the cassette to the freehub, and to hold a Shimano brake rotor to a hub. Neither requires very much torque to secure or remove, and the most useful tool (that NO ONE makes) would be a small lockring remover with a hole for a 5mm hex key. Easy to use, even easier to travel with. But it is NOT made, for some reason. This tool is the next best thing. You just might want to remove the disc rotor when packing the bike for traveling, and this is, to date, the best tool for the job. Until some company wakes up and puts a 5mm hex key hole in a standard lockring remover...

Upgrade to 2015 Front Shifting
Campag mechanical levers have always been more intuitive to use than its rivals (want the chain to move outward? Move the lever outward. Want the chain to move in? Move the lever in.), but the thing that's always bothered me is the ratcheted left lever. You have to go thru three (maybe four) clicks to get the chain to move. Shimano left lever does it in one click. In 2015, Campag Ultra-shift was changed to address this. The front derailleur cable arm was lengthened to provide more leverage, and the left shifter was changed to require three clicks at most (and possibly just one click) to shift the chain from small to large ring. I am using this shifter with Shimano Ultegra 6800 compact cranks, Potenza front mech, and 9-spd chain (with 9-spd cassette and Ultegra 11-spd derailleur - it works) and it works great. The real test will be in cold weather with frozen hands, but it's nearing summer, so I won't know for a while...

Pricey, but it works.
Makes it easy to install the front derailleur in the right place. This not only improves shifting, but helps to keep the chain from falling off the rings. A little pricey, though, for something so simple.
