Hi All,

When using a 12-25 cassette and 34/50 compact chainset (both campag) will I need a short or medium cage rear mech?

Also I take it there isn't a specific front mech required?

TIA

    I have a short cage and it works fine, and I have a 12/28 rear with a 50/34 front,

    Shimano ultegra 6700

    Getting the chain length right is critical when comparing top gear to bottom.

    Short cage rear mech is fine. For the last few years, all Campagnolo double front mechs have been universal i.e. suitable for compact or standard - only triple is different.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
