Campy shifting on new Shimano 10 speed cassette
It should work, but if you want it to work perfectly, you might want to get one of the Jtek ShiftMates to optimize the cable travel. This application would use the #1 model. See: http://sheldonbrown.com/harris/shiftmate I recently set up one of my own bikes with a ShiftMate #2, Veloce 10 speed Ergos, Shimano LX derailer and cassette. I'm thrilled with the results, it works great!

emory- It should work, but if you want it to work perfectly, you might want

BRBR Not required. the spacing is closer than Campagnolo 10s and shimano 9s, which is also cross compatible.

Ok, will I also be able to run a campy wheel (ya know in case I want a pair of fancy campy race wheels) with this on? It so this seems the answer. Thanks Emory I recently converted to 10sp Ergo with Campy rear derailleur and Ultegra 9sp cassette and have had NO shifting issues. It works better than the all Shimano set-up I had before. People seem to have different experiences with this so you may or may not not find the Shiftmate to be necessary. I would try it first without it. If you did install one, I assume you could still put on a Campy wheel sometimes, but it would then be the odd man out wrt cog spacing and may not be "perfect". It's not really practical to pop the shiftmate on and off because it requires an extra loop of cable. |

I would say the definition of it working is kind of personal.
I tried it despite the advice of my LBS and was not happy at all with the results. Nothing like being in the middle of a race, climbing in the 23 on a critical hill and having your chain jumping and skipping around. Seemed like the adjustments were overly sensitive and I was always fiddling to try and get it right. Isn't .040 or .032 is about the width of a chain link? If it is, then all you need is a whisker of miss-adjustment and you got problems. "RonSonic" wrote in message ...

Am I confused? As I understand it, the difference between Campy and Shimano cog spacing is 0.2mm - converted into numbers for which I have a feel that's just under 0.008". The thickness of a too-thin guitar string, or two hairs side by side. So if a middle gear is adjusted spot on, the cumulative error on the large side will be 0.040" inch. Since that might be cured with the limit stop, we're up against 0.032" at the next cog. Thirty thou seems a pretty trivial amount of misalignment on something like a bicycle chain. Have I gotten something wrong? I understand it is best if everything is, well, best, but.... Ron |
