I run THM cranks on all of my bikes and recently got Carbon-Ti rings for the FF build. I want to go Campy 12, but damn it's getting hard to pull the trigger. I had to get a Freehub for the wheels to switch Shimano/Campy and then the Campy 12s Cassette pricing is wild! Also will a 12s chain work on Carbon Ti rings with the Campy 12 RD? At this point I'm just going to look for a good set of SR11 components. The sad part is swapping 11s wheels around between all of my bikes..

Why this dumb move to 12S to begin with? I can see the need via electronic but Mechanical?
Yes
12s came with a lot of small improvements that made a really good group(11s) even better. You must not think it's TOO dumb as you are considering it..


Why 9s?, 10s, 11s, 12s? 13s?..as the 's' makers march along...
