Shinagnolo?

[jiggerypokery]

Ooook, I am so gonna regret asking this because it flies in the face of so many cycling dictats that I may as well be a Catholic boy pledging allegiance to the Queen!

Can I, big pause, fit Campag levers with Shimano 105 10 speed groupset. I'm sick of all the cables and I am no way forking our for the Shimano 2009 groupo so my best bet is to Shimagnolo what I have now which is my Planet X carbon diva.

Will this be easy, can I do this myself, what Campag levers do you recommend?

Do I need..... http://jtekengineering.com/shiftmate.htm

Nope. Well not if you want your gears to work right.

There are a few fudges (like fastening the cable in the wrong place) and gadgets around. i've no idea how well any of them work.

 

[RedBike]

I didn't read your post right, you've even links to one of the gadgets.

Get down tube shifters - light, fast, can do front and rear mechs with one hand in a split second, weigh less....quids in........... or is it me that's still OLD school !!!!!!

Carbon frame Fossy, no where to put braze-ons and I sure as hell aint putting no jubilee clip type thing on the down tube

[MEGA-FONE] Future calling Fossy, future calling Fossy come on' Fossy the Future needs you !

The link to Jtek Engineering will give you the device you want to make it work perfectly, somewhere around £21 posted I believe.

Why does someone always jump in with downtube shifters? They are pure CRAP.

Steel is real - gave a carbon equipped Scott Addict roadie a real - up yours last weekend...... and with DT shifters...... kick your ass I will !!!!!!

Future......missed that I did............Shimanagins have only taken till the new DA 7900 to do concealed shift wires - can't have sticky out wires on Frank........only £1200 spondoolies for the new groupset..........I'll stick with me old stuff 7400 ..ta and all !!!!!

 

[fossyant]

Smokin - never had a problem with indexed shifters......!!!!

No, its not just you, get rid of all this shimano and campag stuff and get some sachs huret yeah !

 

[Mortiroloboy]

I was led to believe that the only way to do this was with the STI's/Ergos matching the RD. i.e. Campag Ergos+Campag RD. If you are going to do that why bother with Shitmano in the first place. Just go with CAMPAGNOLO

 

[piedwagtail91]

i've only ever used campag 10 ergo's with full shimano 9. no idea about 10.

 

[briank]

A few months back I was toying with the notion of using Campag levers with Shimano derailleurs and nearly went down the road of Jtek's Shiftmate. I couldn't see how it worked though and emailed them. Got a prompt, helpful and convincing response.
Still looks a bit naff though!

I've got a similar set-up waiting to build onto a frame - 2006 Chorus ergos & triple crankset/BB, centaur front mech & brakes, then all shimano 105 at the rear with a JTEK shiftmate. That way I get the preferred shifters and a loverly crankset without the higher cost of campag cassettes, rear mechs and greater choice of compatible wheels/hubs. I think the whole set-up has cost me about £350 but at least I got exactly what I wanted.
