Shimano question

Hi folks,
Being a Campag man, I'm needing to seek advice for a mate.
He has a full Dura Ace (circa 2002) on his bike and is thinking about putting on a compact for a trip to the Pyrenees in a few months time.
I'm guessing all that's needed is the chainset and bottom bracket to match?
Would the front mech from that year be ok with a new chainset and BB?
Any advice welcome.
Thanks

It should be fine. He should just have to lower the front mech, adjust the cable, and perhaps shorten the chain if there is too much slack.
I did the same thing on my brother's bike with 105 components and it worked just fine for him.0 -
Ive just done this to my on bike all i had to do was lower the front mech and adjust the cable ever so slightly.0
