Campy Long Cage Der. Specs...anyone have them?
I'm trying to determine what gear combinations are available if I go with a Campy rear Der. The Campy website lists the length, but not stuff like Max/Min, max Difference and capacity. Anyone know where I can find this info for a mirage/veloce(sp) long cage rear der.?
I want to run a 32 or 34 in back with a 50/40/30 in front but don't know if Campy drivetrain can handle it. I don't think it will, but I want to check because I really prefer Campy shifters to Shimano and don't want to mess with a converter. I guess I should specify 9 spd. Does anyone even make a 32 or 34 cog that is Campy compatible?
Thanks

Take a look at the Q&A on the Campy website... https://www.campagnolo.com/qea_search...key=comp&rev=1
Here is one question that will help you:
I would like to see some examples of compatibility calculations for sprocket sets, derailleurs and crank sets
Let's take a look at a practical example:
Can the Centaur 10s rear derailleur be used with the 13-29 sprocket set and the 39-53 crank set?
The description of the Centaur 10s rear derailleur reads: minimum sprocket 11, maximum sprocket 29, capacity 30 and maximum front difference 14.
The minimum sprocket and the maximum sprocket are therefore perfectly compatible.
Capacity = (29-13) + (53-39) = 30
Front difference = (53-39) = 14
The Centaur 10s rear derailleur can therefore be used with the 13-29 sprocket set and the 39-53 crank set.
Second practical example:
Can the Centaur 9s rear derailleur be used with the 13-23 sprocket set and the triple 30-40-50 crank set?
The description of the Centaur 9s rear derailleur reads: minimum sprocket 11, maximum sprocket 29, capacity 30 and maximum front difference 14.
The minimum sprocket and the maximum sprocket are therefore compatible.
Capacity = (23-13) + (50-30) = 30
Front difference = (50 –30) = 20
The Centaur 9s rear derailleur cannot therefore accept the maximum front difference of the triple crank set; the Centaur triple 9s rear derailleur should be used, with a maximum front difference of 22 teeth.
Let's take a look at a practical example:
Can the Centaur 10s rear derailleur be used with the 13-29 sprocket set and the 39-53 crank set?
The description of the Centaur 10s rear derailleur reads: minimum sprocket 11, maximum sprocket 29, capacity 30 and maximum front difference 14.
The minimum sprocket and the maximum sprocket are therefore perfectly compatible.
Capacity = (29-13) + (53-39) = 30
Front difference = (53-39) = 14
The Centaur 10s rear derailleur can therefore be used with the 13-29 sprocket set and the 39-53 crank set.
Second practical example:
Can the Centaur 9s rear derailleur be used with the 13-23 sprocket set and the triple 30-40-50 crank set?
The description of the Centaur 9s rear derailleur reads: minimum sprocket 11, maximum sprocket 29, capacity 30 and maximum front difference 14.
The minimum sprocket and the maximum sprocket are therefore compatible.
Capacity = (23-13) + (50-30) = 30
Front difference = (50 –30) = 20
The Centaur 9s rear derailleur cannot therefore accept the maximum front difference of the triple crank set; the Centaur triple 9s rear derailleur should be used, with a maximum front difference of 22 teeth.
the difference between a long and a short cage is weight only. They all perform the same..
