Campag rear derailleur 'leverage'

Post by BarryS »

Does anyone know if Campag changed the leverage of the rear derailleur from 10 speed to 11Speed mechanisms - by this I mean the distance moved by the mech. for a given cable pull. I have tried to mix 11 speed ergos/11 speed cassette/10 Speed mech. and it works OK, it shifts fine but rattles in some ratios. Is this combo never meant to work or do I have some other issue to find, sticky cable etc.?

the latter I think. BTW the life of some 11s shifters is even further shortened by using some 10s mechs; the springs are stronger in the 10s mechs than the ergos are designed for.

cheers
