Shimergo

burdturglar

Hi

I have a 8spd/triple shimano drive train with busted Sora STI's and would like to fit some Campagnolo shifters in a shimergo set up. I am planning to use some 2011 Veloce "powershift" ergos for £77. Does anyone know if these will be compatible? I am wondering whether these levers have the escape mechanism and if are they comparable to the earlier quickshift system (which I hear doesn't really work with shimano kit).

My other option is to buy some Microshift 8spd SB-R08 shimano compatible levers off ebay for £70 from Hong Kong. Is this a better solution to the Shimergo route?

I ran 2006(?) Centaur 10 speed for years very happily with 8 speed Shimano rear so if you can fin some older 10 speed Campag levers, they'll def work (and be better spec than more recent Campag 10 speed)
