Hi,
First post in the mechanics section and first road bike build so i will probably have something wrong. I've been trolling the interwebs for days trying to find out the answer to this but no luck.
My problem is this:
Amongst other things I have some record titanium 8 speed shifters, a record titanium 9 speed rear mech, chorus 8 speed rear hub, and cassette. Oh and a record 9 speed chain. The bike shop cannot get the gears to shift smoothly no matter what the do with this setup.
We think think there must be something slightly wrong with the rear mech. But we're not entirely sure so before i buy something else i've been trying to clear up a question. This is where i need help.
The shifters - do record "titanium" 8 speed shifters pull the same amount of cable as other campag 8 speed shifters? I have found from my interweb trolling that the campag 8 speed cassettes available are compatible with everything EXCEPT record titanium hubs. This is because the spine pattern is different. I just want to check that the cog spacing isn't also different, which would mean the cable pull would have to be. But i can't find the answer anywhere.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
