All the Shimergo people, I am about to try Campag Veloce 10spd shifter on a 1x set up with shimano 9spd rear mech because I found both an xtr 9spd rear mech (carbon) and the shifters cheap. Initial problem was I had to install an inline cable tensioner as the mech, unlike cheaper models, didnt have barrel tensioner. This is as far as I have got. This article

says it should work great and depends on the way you clamp down the cable at the mech. Am excited to get this going although having a fancy rear mech has made, and might make, things trickier than they need to be, any suggestions?

BITD I had a couple of 7s Shimano bikes rocking 8s Ergos (the first one was my first brifted bike), with the Campy RD. Third Shimergo bike I've had since '99, 7700 with a Shiftmate.
Only drama I've had was the third bike; the 9s rear lever had some overshift built in by way of a little float between the lever body and the spring cage, which was causing the chain to catch the next cog. I can't understand why the same thing wouldn't have happened minus the Shiftmate and Shimano RD and cassette - it's really strange if you think about it... Anyway, stuck a couple of ziptie offcuts in the shifter and it felt just like the 8s, except the relative crispness of 9s. I love the way G-spring Ergos feel on a Shimano drivetrain.
Been trying to get hold of a 10s index ring for that shifter for ages : (
