If I were to get a modern 10 speed Record carbon mech, will this work with my 8 speed Ergo shifters & cassette?
I'm not sure if it will. Campagnolo changed something about the way their derailleurs function around the time of the milleneum. something to do with 'angles' or wotnot.
I have used a 9 speed rear mech with 10 speed ergos and didn't experience any problems but then again they are relatively close to each other. however 8 speed to nowadays derailleurs unless you have a free/cheap one to experiment with I wouldn't risk the money.
8 speed Record is great but one really does feel the 'clunk' factor compared to the 9-10-11 speed systems.

It seems it is the end of the road for my 8 speed Record Titanium mech, as there is a substantial amount of play from the bolt & spring that connects the body & the cages, causing my mech to rub against my spokes when I climb in my lowest gear. I've disassembled, cleaned, re-greased & re-assembled & there is still substantial play.
I can source 8 speed mech's from eBay, but I don't know if they are going to be close to the same point that mine is now in.
