The Mrs' Campag Avanti rear mech has expired following a spoke proximity issue and Im charged with fixing it. Its quite an old but otherwise serviceable 8 speed block - what can I buy to replace the Deraileur that will work? Ive seen campag Mirage in 9 speed will that work? Do I need to stick to campag ? Please excuse my ignorance on what may well be a very simple matter

    Stick to Campag... any 9 or old 10 speed will work, if you can't find an 8 speed. I had an Avanti a few months back, which I used successfully for 10 speed... shame I sold it...

    Yes, a 9 speed Mirage or Xenon would work just fine.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
