Hi there,
I have just trashed my Chorus CT front mech. Can I replace it with a Mirage CT?
I was ready to buy one and it occured to me that the BB lengths are different 102 for Campag to 108(?) Mirage...
I am running a carbon Chorus compact chainset..

many thanks

C

    Can't see any reason why not. It should work fine - it's the shifters that do the crucial part.....

    it'll be fine. The chainlines will be the same, even if the BB axles are different length.

    The latest mechs are dual: compact and double, whereas the older CT mechs have a bigger cage and are CT specific. I prefer the CT ones for a compact. Not much in it though.
