ok - this is actually a stupid question - and I think I know the answer but Ill ask the experts:
Can you use a 10sp campy rear der with 9sp drivetrain? (my guess is yes, that all you need to do is set the der limits so it wont shift past 9-)
Is it preferable to use a campy 10 sp der with 9 sp? (again - think I know that its just fineeither way but the 10 der allows more compatibility)
What about 10 sp ergo levers with 10 sp rear der and 9 sp casette? (again setting limits on der. travel?)
Only reason I am asking is I am dumping my shimano stuff for campy on a spare bike - and I want to be able to mix and match wheels w/o too much work. I also believe that its possible to use shimano hubs with shimano 9sp casette using ergo 10 and 10 sp rear der - is this correct? (E-Richie alluded it would work just fine, I am certain it will but how do I set it up? Do you need spacers or is the casette spacing close enough to just fiddle with cable tension?)
Any info is appreciated! (it would be nice to run all record 10 ti on everything but there is a ceiling to the budget... and I am always pushing it LOL!)
Learning to wrench and finding tinkering is alot of fun! :banana:
