Campy 11 cassettes: Super Record, Record or Chorus?

In my experience of commuting, Chorus cassettes and chains do last a bit longer than Ultegra, about 50 - 100% longer, on the same bike commuting the same route, summer and winter, rain or shine. But then they're about 50-100% more expensive, so you get what you pay for.

Nevertheless I have an SR cassette on the 'best' bike - a 2009 Colnago Extreme Power Super with 2009 SR - and the titanium cogs do wear faster.  But why spoil the ship for a hap'orth of tar, as they say. If you can afford a C64 with EPS, why cut corners?

So ... you knew your options, asked for 'any advice', rejected some practical suggestions and said what you'd decided before coming here. Cool! Thanks for wasting our time

For the record (sorry), one of my bikes has Ultegra 10 changers with a Campy cassette on my turbo.

Another uses an Edco hub with otherwise full Campy 10 EPS V2.

Changing is impeccable on both machines.

Umm... did you just come here to tell us that you have a C64 with SR EPS, which you ride "intensely"?

It's always nice to buy the one you love something shiny.

Chorus, you won't notice the weight and it'll last longer

Stick with Campag cassettes, nothing else shifts as well in a Campag drivetrain. Then it's a straight money/weight/poshness trade-off, assuming the teeth range you want is available in multiple options. I'm fond of Potenza and Centaur myself.

Although, C64 with EPS, aren't you contractually obliged to ride Record as a bare minimum?

Look at Miche cassettes.

Centaur cassettes are even cheaper and still very good quality. Not much weight difference to the higher end cassettes either. I don't think you will notice any shifting difference either.

Get yourself a Shimano freehub and a Shimano chain/cassette.  You'd have so much change left over if comapring to a Record cassette!  Campag spare parts have unecessary prices attached to them.

I have the same groupset on my C60. After having tried a record cassette on my C40 (9sp.) and only getting 3000km out of it I decided it was not worth the money and switched to Chorus. When I spec'd the C60 I asked for a Chorus cassette instead of SR/Record. It is over £100 quid cheaper and, based on previous experience, lasts longer.

I have a 11-25 SR cassette and a Edco monoblock 11-29 which is light weight as well as having a wider gear range.  I have EPS and I do re-train it if I swap cassettes.

I am told that the Edco is a bit louder.  I can't really tell the difference.  EPS shifts just fine with the Edco cassette on the bike after re-training.  When I wear out the 11-29 I will probably get the Edco 11-32, since I am not getting any younger.
