I need to replace a BB cable guide and I am running a campy group. Is there a difference between Shimano & Campy BB Cable Guides?

But if you're using Campy, use a Campy guide. If you use anything Shimano with anything Campy, the two'll just argue all day about who's the best. :) Jeff N.

And its an 11 speed cable guide. Don't even TRY to use a 9 or 10 speed cable guide - you won't have access to all of your gears.

I'll bet someone makes a guide with ceramic tracks-- your bike will not be complete without one.

Yeah, but they take too long to wear in.

In some parts of the world, its April 1st. I was kinda hoping that was a joke. If its not, things have REALLY gotten out of hand.

Hmm, well shimano makes a good plastic and campagnolo makes metal and plastic one. I used both but I usually end up using shimano because it's easier to find.

Thank guys, I found one that will work. CarbonSports makes a carbon one that matches the same carbon weave of my lightweights.
