They definitely need to be used with a sloping TT where there will be a lot of exposed post. Really fits the 90s/aughts MTB/cross bike vibe.

I have small hands and I've read comments about thumb button issues, but I always wonder if those users are trying to push the button with the end of their thumb. I use whatever parts touches the end of the button. Being able to shift 3 sprockets smaller with a quick push beats the tap tap tap. |

I am planning on using SR12 disc with SRAM Eagle cassettes. I run a similar setup with 11 speed (SR11 with X-1190 cassettes) and works beautifully. Anyone has run this setup before? It seems it could work

I have relatively large mitts (6' tall) so may need to test them out on a test ride to see how those thumb shifters may impact my general handlebar-riding positions. . |

Campy brake hoods also have a shorter reach than the others, so you may need longer reach bars or a longer stem, compared to a shimano setup. With a short torso, I use 80mm reach bars.
I notice trek using long 100mm reach bars and stubby stems on their stock bikes. Some folks might have some knee to bar contact with that type of setup. |

BUT, the thumb button on Campagnolo shifters have been around for almost 30 years..you'll find it's easy..MUCH clickier shifts too(compared to shimano) with the ability to select more than one higher gear at a time plus much more forgiving front der..you'll love it.

Sound advice -- I imagine I will indeed once I get my mitts on them.. |

I always found that the biggest change was that the brake levers are fixed and don't move. I have small hands and I found I didn't like braking from the hoods with Shimano, but did with Campagnolo. So that settled it (I have ridden lots of miles on Shimano over the years though, but I've always had Campagnolo 9 on my main bike until this year when I went to 12).

Just ordered a chorus 12
Reviving this old thread. Having some issues with my 10 speed record/chorus mix after about 30K mile and one rebuild. I will get both shifters rebuilt by my LBS but had to see what is new after so long on 10S.
So I just ordered a chorus 12,34/50, 11/32, 172.5 cranks to go on the Ti Desalvo. I do have a set of 11S record brakes NIB that my go on instead of the chorus brakes. Velomine has the best price on this set so he get my $$. |
