I got into a bit of an argument on the MPLS bike trading Facebook page where this guy posted a Gunnar Sport with 10s Campy, and he swears that it will work "no problem" with Shimano (speeds not specified, but I suppose I assumed 10s Shimano). I said hang on, that's not quite true, but there's an easy fix for this (Jtek), which he didn't like ...
So, OK. I am a huge PITA. When the mods said be part of the solution, not part of the problem ... that was probably directed at me. That's fine. I don't care. I asked a specific question. You didn't answer, you said just go ride it. Well, you can put an S10 cassette/wheel into a C10 shifting system and just go ride it, and you may be able to get it to acceptable adjustment in the short term. But I don't think it will work so well in the long term - I know I tried S9 cassette on C9 shifting, and it deteriorated past the point of acceptability after a while, and I'm pretty sure C10 and S10 won't be much better. And the whole reason I asked you was that Campy has a lot of BS in its documentation about how mixing stuff will lead to malfunctions, accidents, and death, and if there's one person who would know that they're spouting BS, it's you.

he answered your question clearly and trust me, he has build a few campy bikes.
its all inter compatible when it comes to the same speed. All 11 sp (post 2015 since we are talking potenza here) stuff works fine with each other. CHORUS CHORUS, POTENZA POTENZA, CHORUS POTENZA, RECORD POTENZA, CHORUS SUPER RECORD, ect ect ect.
Its simple as that. There are other combos that work, 10 speed crank on 11 speed for example.
If you just mix those, you can just go out and ride, no jerry rigging necessary. Forget campys literature, but its tried and true around here that all is intercompatible and thats what old p was saying.
My last campy bike has.... athena mid cage RD, super record FD, Right shifter is record 11, left shifter is chorus 10 and cassette is sram 11 speed 11-32 all working great (as good as my 2015+ full chorus groupset)
