DA 9 spd vs Chorus 10 spd

mark-<< I just got a Colnago C40 frame and force fork and
thought I would build it with DA 9 spd. ( I already have DA
9 spd on another bike) After looking at the price quotes, I
find that I can get Chorus 10 spd for not much more.

Try a bike with Campagnolo.

Different lockring tool. Remember that DA 9s is being fazed
out. BBs, right levers, etc. are going to get tough to
find. shimano wants you to 'upgrade' to 10s. DA 7700 rear
ders are NOW relabeled 7703 rear ders, big pulleys.We just
ordered from BTI. We ordered 7700 and 7703, received the
same ders for both.

Also, don't I have to get new tools if I go with
Campagnolo?

The only tool you will need is the one for the Cassette
lockring. With Chorus, the same tool is used for the
bottom bracket.

In my limited experience, people that have switched to Campy
Ergo, stay with that system.

A Centaur group will give you the same level of
performance as the Chorus but the levers are metal instead
of resin and fiber.

I have used Shimano exclusively for the last 20 years, and just built up my first bike with Campy (Record 2x10). It took me all of 5 minutes to feel comfortable with Campy's shifting system. (I have absolutely fallen in love with it!) I should add I did have the chance to borrow a friends new bike equiped with Shimano's 10 speed system for the last few weeks, and I really like what they did with angling the levers in closer to the bar. (I'll be staying with Campy though). 😄

The cassette lockring / BB cup tool (one thing) . All else
same. And Chorus is usually less than DA.

Hmm. Do they give medals for this sort of thing?

Didn't you read Shimano's user manual? ("Medal received ONLY after 30 yrs. of use"😉.
