Does anyone have experience of using a Campagnolo pre-2001 9 speed rear derailleur with post-2001 10 speed shifters and a 10 speed cassette? The great Sheldon says they don't completely line up but it's nothing to worry about. However, given the closeness of the cogs at the back I'm worried it might not work...
I'm wondering about using an all alloy rear derailleur instead of carbon...

Should be fine, both derailleurs have to move the same amount from 1 to 9/10. You might want to replace the 9 speed jockey wheels with 10 speed though.

The trouble is I read the pull ratio changed a bit... I could try it I guess

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

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

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