cassette for Campagnolo Athena 11?
Hi guys,
recently bought a tacx flux turbo trainer and I am wondering what cassette I can install for my camp athena 11sp gorupset (2011)?
Would a chorus cassette be compatible? potenza? ....
On wheel I have a camp 11sp 12-29.
Any suggestion is welcome
cheers

Assuming you already have a campagnolo freehub body on your trainer, any campagnolo or compatible 11 speed cassette should work.

If the trainer is set up for a shimano 11 cassette, the 11 speed versions should work fine with your campy 11 bike.

Shimano cassettes have the same spacing gap as Campagnolo -- so the "cable pull" per shift moves the derailleur the same distance on either one. So either Campagnolo or Shimano/Sram will work fine.
They have different splines, so the hub has to be a matching Campagnolo or Shimano/Sram hub.
(this wasn't the case with 10 speed, the Shimano spacing was slightly different.)
I assume the trainer has Shimano, so get any 11 speed Shimano cassette -- 105, etc.
Maybe a close range cassette, like a 12-25! Then you'd have lots of close shifts to get that "just right" cadence.
This review says the hub can fit both Campagnolo and Shimano -- huh, that's interesting.
It says the unit can simulate up to a 10% grade, so maybe that close range cassette would be good -- it's not trying to simulate a 15% or 20% grade.
