Hi - anyone using ultra shift levers with a quick shift front derailleur? Found varying views on the internet, but officialy Campagnolo says it won't/ not ideal. On the other hand I a lot of blogs say it can work. jsut wondering if anyone here has that set up - any advice appreciated?

I use the same setup on one of my bikes, absolutely no issues at all.

Great, did you just run the cables as normal, or are there any tricks I should be aware of? Apparently there is a trick to doing this to get everything working smoothly - or was it straight forward? Thanks

Nope, total piece of piss. It was the first time I'd ever setup gears myself too. Just ran the cables as normal and adjusted the front mech. I think it's only an issue with QS lever and non-QS mech maybe.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
