Campy Ergo levers & Shimano brakes?
I'm building up a training ride from parts that have been kicking around in my garage for a few years. I've got most of the componentry, but will need to buy a brakeset and am watching ebay for a set.
Is there any reason why I couldn't or shouldn't use Shimano 105 (or Ultegra or DA) brakes with Campy Ergo levers?. Apart from mongrelizing the bike, I can't think of any reason, except the possible problem of brake pad compatability between the brands.
I know better than to mix Campy and Shimano drive train components.
Any input is appreciated!
