Campy Chorus 12 Speed 48x32; Does this really exist??

[Tommasini53]

I've been searching, no luck. Any Forumites know of a source?? I'm new to having a dedicated gravel bike and I've learned that I missed the mark on gearing. The 48x32 would solve the problem but i can't find one. I assume this 12 speed design would work with 11 speed.

Listed on their website so it exists. Chorus 12s still really new so it might take some time to see it.

12s crank works fine with 11s

Around 10 days ago, Campy USA didn't have an Chorus left in stock. It may have changed since then.

Gotta say, Record and Chorus 12s cranksets are really a bargain..particularly when compared to the all aluminum DA model. Less than $400 and about $100 more for Record.

And dont forget the dignity of having proper italian kit on your bike. that's worth a small fortune right there

I think DA is lighter than Record 12, and cheaper.

Sure, but don't let the facts get in the way of a good ol' Paceline Campy complex.

OK, why then is DA so expensive, considering Ultegra/8000, using the same technology 1/3 the $ of DA.

I guess lighter/cheaper =better...on this forum, yo...
If DA could be even cheaper, why it would be even more better..too bad no less than 34t small ring tho..sad...

Well, aluminum is cheaper than carbon threads and glue plus the bearings are on the crank, not in cups..and no carbon beer cans, yet....Just saying, second gen Camagnolo carbon cranks(2002/3/4) could easily push $1000..to see 'high end' carbon cranks be at the $400 or so range..I think that's a good deal.

The original cranks were pretty expensive... and these would be too full retail in a shop. MY 2005 centaur pedal spindles delaminated causing a warranty

Chorus about $480 and Record about $580..12s, retail $..DA $590....

AND first gen carbon Record(2003)..where the BB flats were off set 45 degrees..almost all had 'ticking' pedal inserts..and pushed $1000...

I just bought a 12 speed 175 mm 48/32 Chorus crankset for $321.69 from 365cycles on eBay. Delivery is scheduled for Friday. The funny thing is that this same crankset cost $360.32 on the 365cycles website. I contacted them to offer to purchase the crankset from them for the eBay price, which would be a win for both of us, as they wouldn't have to pay the eBay commission on the sale. They declined, so I hit the eBay offer.
