The build I'm considering would likely be 2009 Centaur shifters/cassette with a triple crankset. Campy's only triple FDs and long cage RDs seem to be the Comp series which are priced comparably to the Centaur stuff. Is it safe to assume that I'd be able to get those components to work with the new Centaur shifters? I really dig the new hoods (and hopefully my wife will too as the bike will be for her).
They just about have to since the Centaur and Veloce shifters are the only 10 speed models sold. Campy has never sold seperate triple only shifters. When I first got a pair of the 2009 Centaur shifters I did check the cable pull on the left side and I know there is enough to operate a triple FD. It will work a little differently than in the past. It used to require 7 of 12 clicks for a triple FD, but now there are only 6 and those provide the required cable pull.
