Campy 9-speed Mirage shifters
10-speed Veloce Der
9-speed Ultegra Cas
Jtek Shiftmate (#1 I think)
Will this work?
According to Sheldon Brown, the derailleur part of the equation doesn't matter if it's 9- or 10-speeds (https://www.sheldonbrown.com/speeds.html). The Jtek Shiftmate compatibility chart (https://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/shiftmate.html) also doesn't make any distinction between 9- and 10-speed derailleurs either, so the #1 looks right for me. Still, I've heard that the parallelogram is different between the two.
I can get Mirage derailleur in 9-speed, but I can get a good deal on the Veloce, too, and it's a slightly better model. I already have the cassette, no choice there, and I can't afford much better in the shifter category. So if the parallelogram difference is true, I'll have to find a Veloce 9-speed or go with the Mirage 9-speed derailleur, I guess.
Thanks. I'm almost decided!

Yup, Campy 9- and 10-speed RD's are no different from each other. Parallelogram motion is the same. You just need the shiftmate to use Campy shifters/derailler with a Shimano cassette. I assume that your rear wheel has a Shimano freehub, which is the real limiting factor in this case, determining what cassette you can run.

Sure would be a lot cleaner and less trouble in the long run if you could replace the hub shell or entire hub with a Campy compatible and run Campy 10-speed cassettes. That would also improve your ratio spacing.

Yeah, I'm with juicemouse on this. Plus, Shimano hubs make for wheels with somewhat less extreme dishing than Campy hubs. Shimano-compatible cassettes are generally cheaper than Campy cassettes, too.
