Compatibility Question - Sram/Campy

[tp_mantis]

Yes, yes, i know Mixing Sram and Campy will lead to bad vibes - but will this set up shift well?

Shifters used Campy Chorus 10 Speed
Front Derailer - Campy 10 Speed Triple (Probably Chorus)
Crankset will remain - 30/42/54
Rear Derailer - SRAM X9 or X0 - Long Cage 10 Spd
Cassette - SRAM - thinking something around the APEX line, 11-34
Chain - KMC 10speed
will use a shiftmate to help it all work

Additional Info
This is a tandem but the compatibility should work the same as a single.

If you have suggestions to swap out anything, comments are appreciated.

thanks,
Cody

I read somewhere that a sram rd could work just fine w/o using the shiftmate (cant remember where). Since u have the parts give it a try, if it works u saved yourself a few bucks.

Oldpotatoe said that Campy 10 shifters, SRAM RD, and SRAM/Shimano 10 cassette shifts well without a Shiftmate. I'd try that first, and then Shiftmate as needed.

Thanks,
Very helpful info.

anecdotal evidence, i have chorus 10 and rival RD and i can't tell the difference between full campy/sram
