No kludge, etc...if ya want to argue, sorry, not gonna argue.

If you don't understand what I'm saying..oh well.
OK, the follies of communication over the internet. My bad.

If you put a Shimano cassette on a Campy drivetrain, or vice versa, the cog-cog spacing is off by something like 0.02mm from spec. Over the long term, you might get something like lazier upshifting than you would by running pure Campy or pure Shimano. But it's within tolerance, and most people can just go ride it without worry.

What I hear you saying is that Chorus shifters + Potenza derailleurs will work just as well as Potenza shifters + Potenza derailleurs, or nearly as well - on par with the case above.

If that's the case, then I too will gladly consider Chorus shifters + Potenza everything else. Campy's BS notwithstanding.
