I'm not sure what you mean by keeping the same number of gears. Are you implying that mixing 10sp shifters with a 9sp cassette is less than ideal? If so, I can assure you that I have that setup on two bikes and it works flawlessly.
Perhaps other people's experience differs depending on the precise combination of rear derailleurs and shifters. For what it's worth, on both bikes I have Campy Veloce 10sp shifters, Ultegra long cage rear derailleur, and an Ultegra 12-27 9sp cassette. Zero problems with this setup. The Jtek works great in my experience. On May 21, 5:23 pm, James Valiensi <[email protected]> wrote: > I have tried several ways to mix Campy and Shimano. > This is what I've learned: > 1.
