  • I have Chorus 10sp and like it very much.

    Good:

    • Thumb-shifters. Each control on the ergopower only does one thing. So the engagement is positive and solid. I never much cared for the sideways movement of STI levers when braking. They're easy to reach from the drops.
    • Being able to shift a pile of gears at once.
    • Front derailleur trim. Works perfectly. Maybe the others do too, but.
    • 13-28 cassettes for fat bastards.
    • Shifting is positive and quick.

    Bad:

    • Wheel compatibility and the lack thereof
    • Campag chains are horrid. Straight to KMC.
    • Doesn't like being gunged up - the shifting becomes a bit sticky
    • Skeleton brakes look great but are a pain to clean

    Interesting:
    Zinn reckons that you can drive SRAM derailleurs/cassettes with 10sp Ergopowers as the amount of cable pull is similar. I might give this a go.
