Return the limit screw it's proper position and with luck, you'll have the needed cable tension. What I do is deliberately turn the low limit screw CW by 1/2 to 1 turn, pull the cable tight and then tighten the cable clamp. So, now the question is, which of these groupsets. In other words, Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo 11-speed cassettes work just fine. Earlier this year Campy released the Centaur groupset to compete directly with Shimano’s 105 model and SRAM’s Rival 22 prior to this, the Italian company’s equivalent was the 10-speed Veloce groupset, which, understandably, fell short of the 11-speed versions from Shimano and SRAM. Without adding an inline adjuster, that makes getting the cable tension correct, particularly tricky. Get access to everything we publish when you join VeloNews or Outside+. Some frames don't even have barrel adjusters on the frame. Using 4 clicks, just takes up cable tension that could be added with the barrel adjuster. 1mm thicker.Ī lot of users setup their 11 speed FDs with 4 clicks, just because it takes extra effort to dial in the limit screws and get just the right cable tension to use only 3 clicks. 10 speed cranks aren't recommended either, but they usually work fine, even though the 10 speed teeth are about. Of course it's not advised to mix 10 and 11 speed parts, but it doesn't mean that it's not workable. The QS models will definitely require 4 clicks if used with the narrower 11 speed chain and I would expect that a 4-click setup may even be required with a 2009 or newer 10 speed FDs, due to both a wider cage and narrower chain. There are a couple different versions of 10 speed FDs, since some are QS compatible and others are pre-QS. The topic is mixing 10 speed FDs with 11 speed drivetrains. Is there much difference between Chorus and Athena 11 speed FD besides weight (can find the latter for about $50 instead of $100)? Faced with a choice of Athena 11 speed and used Chorus or Record 10 speed FD's at similar prices, what's the best option?


What is the difference between the 10 and 11 speed front derailleurs (this would be the last generation 10 speed - QS)? Is the geometry/ cable pull ratio the same, and can they be interchanged? Everything else (shifters and chainrings, rear derailleur) we are using is 11 speed. Designed to work with their newer 12 or 13 speed cassettes, Campagnolos new. We've found most everything but the front derailleur, which we have not been able to find yet at a good price, although I have seen quite a few 10 speed FD's for sale cheap (he needs braze on, which seem to be more scarce or expensive). You cannot run 11 or 12 speed cassettes on these 10 speed only freehubs. I am helping a friend build up a new bike (Orbea Orca) with Campy Chorus (11 speed)- we are sourcing primarily used components to save money. I was only able to find one cryptic comment on this with a search, and would like some confirmation that this is possible.
