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

Tommasini53 · #1 08-25-2019, 08:19 AM

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 love that this bike has bar-end shifters?! That’s so retro and trick! Lol

I got two groups with the 48/32 from Pink Jersey, but the supply was hit or miss a few weeks ago. The crank works great. I have one with a Campy chain and one with a SRAM axs chain. The axs chain is actually quieter, but time will tell how long it lasts.

just a heads up to any interested parties. some people here have had mixed experiences with Glory Cycles, particularly regarding shipping delays on items they've listed on their site.

Good call...any MO place is 'caveat emptor'..

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.

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.
