Campy 12-30

[Plum Hill]

Building up a travel bike. I have a leftover Record 10 short cage RD and NOS Centaur 34-50 crankset.
Will a 12-30 work with this combo or is there too much chain wrap?

Pretty sure that won't work.

30 is too big in the back

Just did a little research here on the forum.
Looks like it'll work.

It'll be fine as long as the chain is the proper length. As soon as the 12-30 came out we put it onto a demo bike, with compact and short cage rear der..replaced the 13-29..

It's well beyond the rated capacity but several have done it with success.

Depends on the derailleur hanger dimensions. You'll probably have to play with the p screw so the upper jockey clears the 30. Also make sure you use Campy's chain length method, little ring, little cog, 5-10mm of clearance to the upper pulley.
