Campy 10 speed compatibility question (new levers, older derailleur)

[MilanoTom]

Simple question - are 2012 10 speed levers (Centaur/Veloce) compatible with older ten speed rear derailleurs (Chorus/Record)? This is a double chainring setup - no triple concerns.

Thanks,
Tom

Yes.

[Peter B]

Another yes.

I have 2010 Centaur 10 (new style) levers paired with older Centaur 9 front and rear derailleurs. Works great.

[christian]

Yeah, no problem. Works a charm.

[Lewis Moon]

Yes.

The 10spd shifter should also shift the post 2001 9spd RD as well.

[nooneline]

Yes.

If the RD isn't worn out, yep..and the contrary, including 11s, is also true. I just put a 11s Athena RD onto a 2004/5 or so Chorus 10s group and it worked famously.

Thanks to all. I figured as much, but one of the other shop guys disagreed, and I saw some wierd web postings claiming that in 2011 or 12, Campagnolo changed the 10-speed cable pull a little bit. Wasn't anything I'd heard before, so I figured I'd check with the experts...

Nope. You're golden.
