We're not aware of any immediate plan for a Chorus 11-32 cassette.Boshk wrote: ↑Fri Apr 27, 2018 2:22 pmdoes that mean a Chorus 11-32 cassette will be coming out soon since the Chorus has a Med cage RD? or are they expecting people to use Potenza 11-32 with the HO Chorus?graeme_f_k wrote: ↑Thu Apr 26, 2018 10:36 pmThe RDs have been changed around the top pivot area. This helps to accommodate the increased cross-loads that come from a longer (medium) cage when it's fully extended (in the big-to-big full cross). This will have knock-on effect for all cassettes' shifting.
The deatil of Campagnolo's recommendations includes their comment that 11-32 and 11-29 both benefit from the use of an HO medium cage (even though a short cage is all that is actually required for the 11-29). We've also seen (in the field) nicer shifting on a 27 bottom.
I don't know for sure but knowing the pain and agony R and D went through on the 12s cassette (and the change in construction of the triplets), albeit for subtly different reasons, I wonder if the alloy spider / rivetted steel design on the Chorus cassette was judged unsuitable for the extra torque-tansfer demands that the 32 puts on the final sprocket as compared to the 29. I'm at the factory in a couple of week, I'll ask the question.
