2015 Chorus 11 speed shifting problems
It has only had about 6 months use and it has never worked as well as my 10 speed on my other bike to the point where I prefer to ride the 10 speed. I have two mechanics look at it both are not sure what the problem is. We changed cassette and chain that didn't work. It now could be the shifter but unusual for a campy shifter to wear out so quickly. Anyone else have similar problems.
Cheers Hainy

What's it doing or not doing? Could be a lot of things. Der hanger, housing length and installation, BB guide, internal routing, wee bolts on front/back of shifter, lots of stuff. Shifter isn't worn out...probably isn't cogset and chain..whomever suggested that probably isn't clued on on this stuff.

Yup. That's the problem. The solution is to find another mechanic or use the Campagnolo youtube videos and installation manuals to install it right yourself. It's not that difficult. Last edited by summilux; 04-06-2016 at 08:54 AM.

http://forums.thepaceline.net/showpo...8&postcount=54 Just spent a week dialing in the shifting on a Chorus 11 gruppo. Put the groupset on my Carl Strong and thought it would be automatic. I mean steel frame, no internal routing. As good as it gets, right? Nope. Worst shifting I've ever experienced. Worse than SRAMz, even. Without enumerating all that went into 3 days of forensics, shifting is now about 90% on. Basically, if you run 2015 Revolution, make sure you follow the exact Campy instructions on chain length (um, I trusted my best-in-the-city-30-years-of-experience Campy wrench) and your plastic cassette spacers are in the correct order (the 2.3mm spacer goes between the 3 cog carrier and the 2 cog carrier). Who would have ever thought .1mm would affect shifting. This is what makes Campy both rad and almost irrelevant. Oh, to add insult to injury, the crap shifting only occurred with Campy freehub wheels. I used a couple of Shimano 11s wheels with Ultegra cassettes and shifting was precise (well, clunky here and there but 95% accurate).

Bought new? Used?
I had to replace the right Super Record shifter body 3 years after installed new (about 1 month after warranty expired). $100, pretty easy install. Cheaper than a new shifter. After 4 years, I found that replacing shifter cable housing, not just the cables, is imperative. Made a huge difference in shifting.

It is mainly about 4 cogs towards the bottom of the cassette where you have to try and over shift to get it into gear and not always successful. It is an 8 yo custom steel baum bike, no internal routing and never had a problem with the previous 10 speed on the same bike. I still have it and might put it back on. I will drop it into Steve Hogg next week and if he can't find the problem he can drop it down to the local Campy service centre.

Guys that buy a shift assembly for parts and continue to repair small bits if they break, is what I'd recommend..me, for instance. yikes

One of my friends got a new 2016/15 chorus and the thing was noisy as hell. Wonder if the guy saying that a batch of Chorus went faulty out of the factory.
Thanks for the link.
