So, there are just two cage lengths with 11 speed Campag?

55mm
82mm (Triple)

Agree?

Thanks.

In 2012-14 11s RDs, yes.
Potenza obviously adds to that with the medium cage on post 2015 RDs.

To perhaps forestall the next question ...

Current factory advice is to avoid mix-and-match as the carbon-composite top knuckles (outside of Potenza) have not been tested with the medium cage and failure could have lots of very expensive consequences (if you consider when the top knuckle of a derailleur is most prone to failure).
A Tech-Reps work is never done ...

Thanks.

Going to be replacing my 10 speed Record triple stuff soon. This I run with a medium cage.

Didn't know that Potenza added a third cage length, but will probably go with a full Athena set.
