I picked up some NOS Record 10 levers recently. They did not come with cables. I have some nice color matching housings I want to use. Do Campy 10 speed levers use standard derailleur and brake cables or something Campy specific?

Thanks

Get shimano ones and dremel them. Done. Obviously test the fit in the holes so they fit kind;a lose, u really dont want them to fit tight.

Good luck.

Excel and other vendors carry Campy cables by themselves. Like AS said, the cable end is smaller than on Shimano cables.

Ordered a set of Campy shifter cables from Cambria earlier this week for $15 plus shipping. Should have ordered from 'oldpotatoe'.

Lickton's has full Campy 10 cables with housing for a reasonable cost.

Smaller head on the der and brake cables. Jagwire, Clark's, some others make 'em. Use 5mm housing on the ders, works better, longer. DO NOT, please, put ferrules into the lever for the brake housing. Yes for der housing, NO for brake housing.

A decent bike shop should have this stuff, if they don't they are either clueless or lazy or both(even some here in the 'republic).
