Long story, got some Campag Xenon 9 speed shifters (New) and want to install them on a bike with Shimano 2300 8sp kit (i.e. swap out the shifters), will this work? Is it a botch, is it worth the effort?

I know the 10 speed ergos work with 8 speed shimano but don't know about 9 speed.

Google shimergo and you should find an answer. ;)

Yes...If you clamp up the rear mech with the Hubbub modification.

9 speed campy shifters won't work with 8 speed shimano. Trust me i've tried it!

I never tried, I returned them. Ended up with a full Shimano Claris groupset set off eBay for 100.

They do, IF (and only if) you use the Hubbub cable clamping method to change the leverage.
