I'm strongly considering Chorus 12 set up (vs. Force 1 with modestly larger chainring than for a cross bike since I'm comfortable w/ 2T jumps at the smaller end of the cluster from 1X mtb'g and current Centaur 2X10).
Any input? thanks.
Chorus 12 is a great option if you don't want or need the lowest weight group. Functionally, there's no difference between Chorus and the higher level groups. The shift lever are now made of black coated aluminum, instead of carbon fiber and the crank lacks the fancy clear coat finish of Record and SR. Chorus offers a new 48/32 crank and an 11-34 cassette, which is what I chose for the steep hills in norther Colorado. The hills on my rides are far worse than most mountain slopes. I got my groups from pinkjersey.com.
