Hi guys

I just picked up front and rear Chorus mechs that are the 8 speed variety. If I just wanted to run a 7 speed friction setup, can I just use downtube shifters? Did Chorus have downtube shifters, or is it just the Ergos?..

Any help appreciated,
Ta
 
Yup 8 speed mechs will work fine on a 7 speed friction set up and yes Chorus did have downtube shifters and very nice they were too :D

All I can find at the mo is the Synchro levers http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CAMPAGNOLO-SYNCRO ... 45f093a2f3

These were indexed to work with Campag, I'm not sure if there was the option to switch it over to friction.

One thing to remember is that Campagnolo 8 speed has exactly the same spacing as 7speed (and the 7 speed is the same as Shimano).

So your 8 speed shifters will shift a 7 speed immaculately.
