campy cranks with shimano drivetrain?

[bkboom123]

I am still somewhat new to cycling but I have a question.

Can you use campy cranks with Shimano or Sram everything else? To me, it seems like a "a chain is a chain" and that they are the same? I have never used anything campy so I have nothing to go on. Just curious....... :rolleyes:

Yes, you can.

The cycling gods might strike you down in mid-stroke, but yes, you can.

Yes, you can.

Actually, the cycling gods are a varied mix of deities and spirits. Some throw thunderbolts and others make you fall in love.

And that's why mixing parts from different companies appeals to them.

Dave, who says at least that's his religion

I knew that the cycling gods wouldn't be too pleased with mixing parts. It was more of a curiosity thing then anything....

so sram shifters and RD wouldn't be kosher with Shimano FD and Brakes as well as a campy crank? :fight:
