Yokozuna Reaction housing really.
It work fine on my build, providing the mount is faced perfectly and the pads sit in the calipers properly.

Campag shifters and Spyres do not work at all very well. They just do not pull enough cable, and there's no alternative cable routing/mods you can do that solves the problem. I would not bother. They work, but compared with Shimano levers they're shite.
The main problem is you have to run the pads so close to the rotor to get them to bite, and then they often don't retract fully once you've released the lever, and hence they drag on the rotor. I think part of the problem is the pad adjustment screws aren't indexed, they're just free to screw in/out as they please. The only thing stopping them is some blue loctite.
I recently bought Juin Tech R1 calipers and these are better with the Campag levers. Braking is still not mega, although I they're on the stock pads and I could do with setting them up properly. However, compared to the Spyres, they're a dream.

Anybody got any experience with campy shifters and spyres?
Been doing my research but its a 50/50 where people say it has a ridiculous amount of lever throw needed and the half saying its fine as long as you set it up correctly. Some says no amount of good setup will help with the lever throw. Not sure if I should just throw the towel and use Shimano or risk it and use spyres with campy
