Japanese/Italian compatibility.
I've read somewhere (old magazine, can't find it...) that 10 speed Campagnolo Ergoshifters have the right amount of cable pull to function with 8 speed Shimano derailleurs and cassettes....
Is anyone using this kind of setup?
Has anyone else heard of it being done successfully?
I'd like to convert my hybrid workhorse to drop 'bars, and Campagnolo Mirage/Xenon shifters would apparently be the cheapest way to do this.
LBS wasn't much help. He doesn't speak much English, and I don't speak much Welsh...

I've done it. 10 speed Veloce ergos shifting a Tiagra mech with an 8 speed cassette.
It worked perfectly.0 -

And, yes, 10sp ergo levers shift perfectly with shimano 8speed cassette and mech, no mods or anything funky required.0 -
Thank you folks! Happy days!
