This could be cool, I just scored a closeout chorus 11 speed kit for my CX bike but wouldn't mind other options for a different frame.

The bigger opportunity for Campy - at all levels - is to address the clear trend toward mixed surface riding.
Some ideas... 1:1 ratios (32 or 34) Clutch RD (or at least a competitive mid-long cage solution for wide range cassettes) Wide rims It might even be interesting to see a 1x solution, although I don't think that's the perfect move for Campy. The reality is that Campy is squarely a pavement focused brand. They don't provide a real CX solution anymore. We can debate the merit or necessity of "gravel" products, and the relative utility of Campy for unpaved applications - but the market reality is unambiguous. Campy needs to address where the market is moving, and soon. 12speed is great, and hopefully lays the foundation for a more compelling wide range cassette. Would also be good to see some real leadership on the wireless side of things - so much untapped (ahem) potential. I just took delivery of my first non-Campy bike in 15 years, and I'm not quite ambivalent about it because Campy didn't have what I wanted today. If/when they address most of the items on my list, I'll switch back in a blink. 12 or not. |

Bully for you. Anything to point others to? I'd gladly grab a Chorus 11 mini-group…

clutch RD would be fantastic (specially if they did a 11 speed one... I would put one on my bike right away)... bigger cassettes are nice but since I can just put a shimano or sram it does not matter to me, I have 11-36 and 11-34 all working great with campy right now (road link of course, I think the 34 could probably work without it though). |

I will be VERY surprised... but you can always just run a 11-34 cassette and have that 1:1... cheaper too.

I am impressed...
"It’s claimed that upshifts have eliminated any shift lever freestroke, meaning any lever movement will cause an immediate derailleur reaction. The Chorus rear mech is optimised for 11-29 and 11-32 cassettes, but Campagnolo also offers an 11-34 option, still with single-tooth jumps across the first seven smallest sprockets. Since the mech design matches that of Super Record, you could, in theory, run the 11-34 cassette with the premier groupset too. All three cassettes have aluminium spacers and a chemical treatment on the surface of the sprockets that is claimed to improve durability. It maintains a similar look to Campy’s loftier offerings, albeit with less machining." Look at that, campy is LISTENING! Had no interested in 12 speed campy until this chorus group, this is NICE. |
