Centaur vs Chorus 11s Rear Derailleur
Has anyone used a Centaur? Is Chorus and its Revolution design worth the extra money?
The price is so attractive, I'm considering a medium cage Centaur RD for my gravel bike. Besides material differences and corresponding weights, the design is more traditional and probably more like pre 2014 RDs(?). |

And the Centaur will work fine with pre 2014 shifters, right? I doubted I would have an easy time justifying Chorus. I think I'll go with a Centaur, especially since it will see heavy use in the dirt and dust of dirt roads around here. Thanks.

11s shifters. But if latest 2017/8 11s Centaur, yup, that'll work fine.

OP....You are saying the last model Centaur 10's RD will work OK with 11's shifters over a 11's cassette?

I would be using 2012 or so Chorus shifters with a 2018 Centaur RD.

I am so so so tempted to get the Centaur 11 group - I have a Shimano wheelset and cantis, so no need for the brakes or cassette..
Can I use a Shimano chain with the Centaur crank? |

Yes, no problem.

Would my Shimano 5800 derailleurs work with Campagnolo shifters? is the pull of the shifters and derailleurs different? I understand that one can use a Shimano 11speed cassette/wheelset on Campy and vice versa..but can you now mix shifters and derailleurs?

I should mention, 2011 10s rear ders and 11s rear ders work great with older, Campag 10s shifters..they 'overshift' a wee bit but I have built more than a few rigs with 2008 and older Campag 10s shifters using a modern 11s rear der and it works very well.
