Hey @edscoble,
I have a shimano 8 speed MTB cassette and 10 speed campag ergos, apparently these should mesh reasonably well. Does it matter, in your experience, if I use a shimano road rear derailleur rather than a MTB one (purely in terms of shifting)?

Road and MTB have the same cable pull.

It will work but bear in mind it will feel a little harder to shift because of the difference in cable pull.

My theory is that the gear housing may not stand up to the extra stress but so far it work fine.

Good to know cheers, every other shift feels way off, with the intervening ones bang on. I'll just keep fettling.
