Campag 9 to 10 conversion.

Hi all,
Has anyone any experience of using a 2001, 9 speed Campagnolo racing triple rear mech with a 10 speed Campagnolo block? I have the appropriate ratchet for my Ergo levers as they were originally 10 speed ones (2001 model year) before I converted them to 9 speed use. As I need to change my cassette I was thinking of getting a 10 speed version as the 9 speed version is much less available now. Will I need to mess around with the cable attachment on the rear mech in order modify the amount of cable pull, or will it work as it is?
Thanks!

The 9 speed Racing Triple rear mech is compatible with the eariler pre-2001 lever pull ratio. If you use a post 2001 10 speed lever the Racing Triple with work perfectly with a 10 speed cassette - but a Shimano one, not Campagnol !!!
This is due to a conincidence in the cable pulll ratios.0 -
I'd try it first with the 9 speed mech - it'll work regardless of what Campagnolo tell you but it depends on how fussy you are - most probably couldn't tell the difference.Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0

Thanks for the replies. It seems that the answer is 'Suck it and see'!
Oddly there seems to be a lot more information around about setting up a Shimano / Campag hybrid system than there is about compatibility across the 9 /10 / 11 speed Campag systems. Perhaps I should just wait until they bring out a 12 speed system and then buy a new bike!0
