I bought a 2018 Cannondale SuperX frame and got a right/rear Campy H11 shifter/brake combo but am having a HELL of a time finding the left front. Three orders from websites that said they had them and three canceled orders with attendant PayPal headaches.
It looks like I can get the 12sp Chorus version relatively easily but was wondering if the general appearance and shape was the same as the H11 and whether the 12sp lever would shift OK on a 10sp Campy crankset.

When 12 speed dropped, they said the levers flared out a bit more than prior ones. I don’t think this is dramatic, but it might be noticeable if you mix levers. Chorus 12 also has an alloy brake blade. H11 were carbon.
Are you planning to run 11spd with a 12spd front shifter and 10spd crankset?

OK, call me confused. You have a right shifter/ rear brake combo and now you want a right shifter/ front brake combo?
Can I ask why you want both right shifters?

My mistake. Left/front.

When did they start putting Al blades on Chorus?
When did they start putting Al blades on Chorus?
When chorus 12 was introduced, last July. The blades are painted black with a clear coat, just like the carbon blades.

Oh yeah, that is now next to impossible to find. I ended up having to purchase the left shifter/ rear brake and buying a new front caliper on-line. Ended up being expensive to say the least. With that said, if you can find the left shifter, getting a front brake caliper is not as bad as you would imagine. A couple people on these boards have caliper pairs for sale and you could even go the HOPE RX4 route.

I can get Chorus H11 front shifter/front calipers. I can get the rears as well.
