11-Speed Chorus with 11-32?

[Waldo62]

Has anyone tried to run post-2015 11-speed Chorus with an 11-32 cassette? I am aware that the derailleur is rated to 11-29, but am curious whether anyone has successfully attempted to use an 11-32 cassette.
(I am aware that 11-speed Centaur will accommodate 11-32.)

TIA

I have with a 12-32 on a pre-2015 Record and works fine.

Yes. Running 11-32 on a Chorus 11 mid cage, no issues,

The medium cage actually says "29-32 only" in tiny writing on the inner cage plate.

(Works perfectly with smaller cassettes though)

I am assuming you don't have a medium cage chorus RD.

It can work or not. I have had it working and it was fine but it really depends on the frame. It worked great but small small the chain was a bit loosey (big/big actually worked but of course I always keep it out of both of those so I put many miles on it and was great. Eventually got a mid cage record RD because why not/

I have regularly used SRAM XG-1190 11-32 cassettes with 11 speed campy (short cage) derailleurs. Not a problem whatsoever.

I run 11 sp Chorus short cage and the 11-32 works like a charm.

11-34 here. No problems at all.

Whoops, I misread this.... the Hampsten is a 12 speed with 32 cassette.

I have Chorus 11 on another bike and am looking to use a 32 cassette as well.

Don't I feel silly....

Didn’t work, alas. Not ready for a Wolf road link on this bike, so will continue to make do with 11-29z

[R3awak3n]

yeah its worth a try but does not always work.

Road links work but area also very wonky sometimes. Keep looking for a mid cage derailleur, they do come up once in a while, also mid cage potenza also works and you could just do a cage swap

Is there a reason to not just get the medium cage chorus?

11s medium/long-cage Campy is largely out-of-stock as everyone turns to dirt riding.

Going to go that route. Managed to find one at Wiggle.
