Hi,
I'm looking to build up an audax bike with 9 speed campag bits. Probably Veloce. What's the deal with compact double cranks/front mech/ergo shifters? Would a mid 90's style pair of Veloce Ergo shifters work with any campag front mech? I read something about the mech design being changed to cope with the wide drop - 34-50 - but does this imply you need a matching pair of shifters?
For a compact double arrangement would I be better off looking at newer style shifters, maybe even 10 speed?
Thanks,
