Veloce 9 speed questions

My plans are to strip the components and install them on a early 1990's vintage Colnago. Are there any major obstacles to look out for? Are repair parts readily available for that year's components? Is there any compatability issues with Veloce components through the past 6 years? Thanks, Ed May have to 'cold set' the rear triangle to 130mm and the BB shell for the Colnago is Italian. 1999 9s veloce is like 2005 10s veloce, Everything current will work with that gruppo. 9s cogsets and chains are plentiful. If ya ever want to convert the lever to 10s, that is easy as well. So what exactly needs to be replaced to upgrade 1999 9s to 10s? A shift disk, maybe some lever springs, chain and cassette, is that it? Shift disc(EC-RE-061), front toothed bushing(EC-RE-062), cogset and chain and 'bob's yer uncle'.. |

I mean something like 127mm-128mm, you might just be able to "squeeze" the rear Hub in without any frame stretching/modifications. Tire changes will be a little bit harder though. Mark Yeah, the dropouts are about 128mm. Oh, one last question. How do I confirm that the Veloce components are the 1999 model? Are there any special markings? I heard that the older components are more difficult if not impossible to later convert to 10sp. Thanks, everyone for your imput, Ed 1998 and older levers are not convetible to 10s. Take one of the levers off, take off the back plastic cap and look at the plate with the bolt thru it. If the plate has two small square notches in it(for ERGO brain), it is 1999, if it is smooth with a button head bolt holding it on, it is 1998. |

My rear dropout spacing was just a tad over 128mm (Something like 128.858mm with a Dial Caliper) Just a very slight stretching was required with my fingers, and slight finger pressure , which I don't think will ever be a problem for me, and shouldn't be for you. While my Wipperman SS Chain, and smallest cog of a 13-26 Cassette appeared sort of close to the right rear dropout on this 1989 Frameset, so far I haven't had any problems. I'm hoping Peter Chisholm will answer your question about the dating/upgradeability of Campy Veloce Ergos. He's the Campy Expert here. Mark Thanks for the compliment-peter |
