Mixing 10 speed and 11 speed campag
Teach
Posts: 386
Hello I'm new to the forum and if this is in the wrong place mods please move to the correct place.
I'm looking at building up my own bike. I was going to put campag chorus 10 groupset on. However advertised locally there is are some record 11 seed shifters.
How much of the 10 speed and 11 speed stuff is compatable?
Am I right in thinking I can fit 11 speed shifters and rear derailleur with a 10 speed chainset? Or does the narrower chain not work the chainset?
Any advice and guidance greatly appreciated.

Is any body able to shed any light on this as I don't want to miss out on what appears to be a reasonable deal, nor do I want to buy something that just wont be compatable.

I've found the answer to this. Thanks to all who looked. I'm sure I'll be back to pick your brains at some other point.0

In case anyone finds this in the search and wants the answer:
With 11 speed shifters, you have to use an 11 speed cassette and chain. 10 speed mechs will be fine, though the front shifting may be slightly slower due to the wider cage on the front mech. This is mostly cancelled out by the ratchet style of operation of Campagnolo's left hand shifters though.
You can use any cranks you want.0
