Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I thought I could lend a little insight on your Shimergo setup as I use Campagnolo 8s Ergo shifters with a Shimano 7s HG cassette. If you replace the Shimano rear mech with a pre-2001 indexed Campy unit (not the old-old stuff, anything Ergo compatible 8s up through 2001) you'll get the correct pull of 5mm.
You've got it working nice enough it sounds, but I just wanted to let you know I've been running that combination for over a year with a few thousand reliable miles.
not doubting you, you're there to see it, but if the parts are what you say, it should work fine. Has someone put different ratchets inside the ergos at some point (so even tho' it says 8 speed, they actually work 9 or 10)?markypea":3jbjhk31 said:I have also created the same set up, 7 speed freewheel (Shimano MF-TZ21), Athena 8 speed ergo shifters and mech. Doesn't line up for me, the mech moves too far, if it is aligned on cog 1, by cog 5 it is seriously rattling, cog 6 jumps up to 7. Even bought a second mech as the first one I bought was a 9 speed Daytona and although it appeared to be pre 2001 I figured I must have been wrong, but the 8 speed is exactly the same. Gutted. Tried to Hubbub it but it didn't fix anything for me.
