Thanks to all who responded, it will be about a month and a half before you see anything else from me when will show the end result whatever that may be. I don't see problems, just untried solutions.

Would you have the partt number handy?f I might need it later.

Thank you, I bet pounds to pennies they made enough variation in the design to stop modification by that simple upgrade happening, if you made a new model of something would you allow people to just buy the new ratchet and upgrade, of course not, you want them to buy a complete new groupset, I...

Both good solutions, I have asked around for a old damaged 9sp shifter to experiment with the index ring but no result as yet, extending the cable clamp was a thought I had early in the process and it is still a thought, I could make a brass part and chrome it to look like an odd but factory...

Thanks for that, I did earlier say I am using Zipp 3000 wheels, they will not take a cassette. I would have liked to do a lot of the stuff people suggest but my myopic view of what looks nice without being over the top led me to the 8sp record brifter fit up to the 10sp record derailleur. I...

The reason I am doing this is I want to use a Campagnolo carbon/titanium derailleur, this is the result of the snowball effect on things, I have to use a screw on cluster because I am using Zipp 3000 wheels, the biggest screw on Cluster is 8sp. I am using Delta Brakes and consequently will want...

Thanks for that, I take so long to do builds sometimes I think most would loose interest long before I got it on the road, I will post a few pics as I go if I remember and if I find a better solution than the ones I can buy I will let you know.

Yep, getting information from all the wrong places, 10spd is post 2000. I think I will wait a bit, once I get the bits I like I will set up the frame and derailleur with a dial gauge and see what I can do with the stuff, the only variation I can see is in the parallelogram, the ratio there is...

Thanks for that, I have looked this up a bit, I was under the impression the pre 2000. 8, 9 and 10 speed carbon derailleurs had the same index ratios, and that allowed me to use the 8sp Record brifter with them on an 8 speed screw on cluster. I need to use an 8 speed cluster as the Zipp 3000...

Hi, I am rebuilding a Zipp 2001 and want to use mostly period correct parts, mostly 1994 - 1995. I have selected Campagnolo Record 8sp Brifters with an 8sp campy rear cluster and want to use the Campagnolo Record 10sp Titanium/Carbon derailleurs. Do they get along Ok. It is purely a cosmetic...
