Are the levers and blades on a set of 11 speed Athena triple shifters the same as those on the Athena double?

Guess it really just comes down to the internals of the left lever being a bit different?

yes and yes...The Powershift levers and blades are the same as Ultrashift as well..

That's one of the things I like most about Campy. Versatility in design. Double levers are triple too and the other way around too.

UH....Don't believe new doubles are also triples....especially with Power Shift. My 2010 10 speed Centaur Ultra was both.....but my 10 speed 2011 Power Shift were triple (which work on a double)....but the double of those would not work as a triple...as I recall. Don't know about new 11 speed Athena Power Shift doubles and triples....but suspect same. And BTW....On a triple where all the gears are close together front and rear....with no need for the dump feature (for a double shift to next gear).... in some ways I like the Power Shift better for a triple than the Ultra Shift. Push that FD button and "wham" shift done. Centered also....no need to trim. If you want or need a triple....the Athena looks pretty good to me.
