Well, if the 12 speed chain is quieter and more dureable as it has been stated, that alone would be a reason. I really have to wonder if anyone that buys Campagnolo SR or Record is really concerned about the cost of some of these items!!! Especially a chain!
I am! Not so much the chain cost, but the cassettes definitely. I always buy a SR cassette with climbing gears and the ones I normally use the most in flat land where I live are chorus or even centaur. Whichever I find the cheapest. Weight is the only difference I’ve personally seen if kept clean and well lubed!! Even the chains in 11sp I buy chorus as well.avispa wrote:I really have to wonder if anyone that buys Campagnolo SR or Record is really concerned about the cost of some of these items!!!

Money is grown on the tree out back, next to the goose that lays golden eggs.
You buy according to your budget. If SR or R is too much for you then there's chorus, potenza etc. When i was younger i could only afford the cheaper ranges of Campagnolo like the old victory group I had on my first proper race bike. I don't need to spend as much as i do on bikes but my budget means i can buy what i want these days so SR it is. My mate who has 3 young kids makes do with a complete bike from Ribble with 105 or maybe ultegra and even then has to lie to his wife how much it was!
If I'm correct the 12speed Record group is cheaper then the 11speed Record group an dyou get a so-called Super record chain and cassete with the 12speed. With 11speed Record you 'only' had a Record chain and cassette.AJS914 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 18, 2018 5:57 pmI had top of the line Record 10 speed and can afford to buy whatever group I want but the last time around I just decided that Record/SR just wasn't worth the money compared to Chorus. It's about a 200 gram difference and I could save those 200 grams elsewhere with the substantial amount of money saved. It's also pretty easy to install ceramic bearings on an ultra torque crankset (if you believe that .1 watt will help you).
It just makes me sad that 12 speed seems to have gone upscale in pricing. Maybe in a year or two, Campagnolo will come out with a Chorus priced 12 speed group?
12 speed chain more durable?
I use "11 speed over torque crankset 50-34" too, but with SR11.
