A few questions about Campagnolo 12 speed groupsets

[Mikej]

Carpet and drapes need to match. Record all the way.

For my bike, the Chorus calipers have tons of clearance (I think I posted a photo in Angry’s thread on the subject). Running Corsa 25s on Shamal Ultra (not C17) and pretty sure that 28s would fit no problem

Chorus is heavier than record but performance wise no difference. I've seen Campy 11s carbon record and SR RD explode but alloy chorus seems to be more durable than the other two. If you don't care about a few hundred grams of weight I would go chorus any day. Now the real question is, are you going to be looking at your bike and wonder "hmmm, I should have got Record" Everytime?

R12/SR12 both go to 34T now (on an SR cassette) - that opens the door to a 39/53 by 11/34 combo - very sweet range, atmo.


But I still can't decide on SR12 EPS vs. DA9150 for my Dogma : help:

agree 100% on the 48/32 - awesome crank range for me. i now use the whole cassette. it's perfect for road riding. for me anyway.

"Panache," says the guy who has bikes with Chorus, Record, and Super Record.

They look of the new record brakes had really grown on me. I would at least go with those. Nothing wrong with using chorus elsewhere, but at that point, I would be tempted to go matching.

I just placed the order, decided on the full record with chorus brakes. I like the idea of keeping things the same. A few people have mentioned they believe the chorus brakes might have a bit better clearance so that's why I went with them.

Thanks for everyone's help

I'm afraid the clearance comments are fake news.... Send KarlC a note. He's played w both on his F8.

There are also some parts made in Romania. You have to read the boxes the parts come in.

Do we know where the 11 speed chorus brakes are made? Doesn't really matter now but would like it to be Italy

I don't think it matters much. To be safe I got the 11 speed chorus brakes. They were on sale and lighter (not by much) then the newer ones. Doesn't seem to be any difference between the 11 and 12 speed?

[thirdgenbird]

I thought both 11 and 12 speed chorus brakes were outsourced to tektro but the 12 switched to shimano style pads. Probably to simplify the value stream.

Confirmed

I am really close to selling two record 10 groups and ordering a chorus 12 group. Well, a group minus brakes. I’ve got Campagnolo canti brakes for this build. Also made by tektro with Shimano style pads. Good bit of kit.

Email me, I can design and build a set specifically for you and your needs.

Chorus brakes made by TRP/Tektro. Campag has had a LONG relationship with Tektro..going back to early canti brakes for cross groups.

I keep expecting that a 'Fulcrum' group', aimed at OE, made where the frames are made(Asia), would happen..not yet.
