Just got bianchi via nirone xenon. Love the bike, hate the xenon shifters so have bought a pair of veloce shifters to go on straight away.

Just worried now about compatibility. Can anyone confirm the veloce powershift levers are ok?

The bike has veloce front mech and xenon rear mech.

    Xenon is 9 speed and veloce is 10... you can match a 9 speed shifter with a ten speed derailleur, but not viceversa...

    So, I think you are in trouble (unless you bought a Veloce 9 speed). Upgrading to a veloce rear mech and 10 speed cassette/chain shouldn't cost the earth though...
    You might even get away with the Xenon 9 speed derailleur on a 10 speed cassette... worth trying

  • Current xenon is 10 speed mate so presume it's ok??

    If the speed is the same it will work perfectly.
