Campag 10 speed double to Campag triple conversion, advice please.
I want to change one of my Campag 10 speed bikes to a triple, but not decided on which bike yet. The bikes I've got currently have the silver 10 speed Chorus or Centaur shifters, from what I can gather both of these can be used in a triple set up, is that right?
So apart from buying a new crankset I'm trying to figure out what else I need, I guess its just a new bottom bracket and a new front derailleur.
My existing BB for my doubles are 102mm wide which is clearly not going to be wide enough, I've got a barely used Campag BB that's 113mm in my parts bin , will that work with a triple? If not which one do I need?
Onto the FD, the groupsets I have are all silver so to keep matchy I don't want any carbon or black FD versions, so don't want any of the modern 11 speed ones. I need a braze on not clamp. Will any of the Campag FD's marked as triples work? I've seen a Victory one ebay but Victory predates 10 speed, but for front shifting that will be OK won't it, or not?
I've also seen a Campag Olympus triple FD, which is for MTB use, any reason this won't work with a road 53/40/30 triple? Is a 53t big ring maybe too big to fit in a MTB FD, or the spacing between rings in road and MTB different?
The other one I've seen that is specifically for 10 speed and silver (and more expensive) was called a Campag Comp Triple, so is this the 'correct' one I should be getting?
And anything else I should know that I've not considered let me know, thanks.
