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.

Thanks for the confirmation.

That's also what I'd heard originally for the 11sp, that Shimano 11sp cassettes worked ok with Campag 11sp set-up, but from what I can filter from all the anecdotal info online, Campag cassettes don't have equal spacing across the 11 sprockets, whereas Shimano/SRM do ? Hence some say the mix works fine, the fraction of a mm difference isn't noticeable, and others that you can notice the difference and it's noticeabley not as smooth as Campag to Campag...?

Hi all, Campagnolo compatibility help please...
I have an 11 speed Chorus RD, the earlier version, 2010-2014 (white stickers not red ones, and with no little boxed 'A' symbol) - Ref : RD11-CH1.
The specs say it can take a cassette of minimum 11T and maximum 29T.
Would a modern-day Centaur 11sp 11-29 cassette work smoothly with this ?
No sprocket distance dimension changes in the years between release ?
Or any other compatibility problems to consider ? -

That whole video is awesome, from the guy in a suit and sunglasses up a ladder painting his window frame (07:28), George Wood having a smoke after his cycle race against (10:58), those stretchy strip-cut freebie paper hats the kids are wearing (13:45)... total 1970s nostalgia overload.

I donate randomly now and then, but would be happy to go with fixed subsciption fees if that would help.
