Re. the Campagnolo Chorus 11 speed groupset cassette compatibility options...
My other other option is to use a an existing Shimano wheelset I have, with a new 11 speed Shimano cassette.
Assuming the Shimano 11 speed cassette works ok with the Chorus 11 speed set-up, two questions :
Shimano cassette with Campag set-up, is it better to use a Campag chain (which I understand are slightly thinner than 11s Shimano ones?) to suit the Campag set-up, or Shimano chain to suit the Shimano cassette ?
The spec for the Chorus RD says max 11-29. I wouldn't want to push to a 32, but Ultegra do an 11-30 cassette (and every little helps with the hills and mountains around here). Anyone tried this, or know if the spec is conservative enough to allow a tiny bit extra like this ?
Thanks.
