From: An Island on the Coast of GA!

Bikes: Snazzy* Schwinns, Classy Cannondales & a Super Pro Aero Lotus (* Ed.)

I'm using Hudz hoods on my Centaur 10 speed ergos, mostly just as a fashion statement. When I ordered from Wiggle in GB I wanted silver levers. They were out of stock and hard to come by, so Wiggle sent black CF, instead and gave me a small discount. Turns out they worked on this build.



I don't have a clear shot of the drivetrain, but I ended up running a wide range (11-32) IRD Campy compatible cassette (less $ than Campy) with the Campy Comp Triple RD. Works great. BigBossMan has gone this route as well. Another place to save some money is to use a Wipperman 10 speed chain.



From what I understand, all Campagnolo Ergo shifters can handle a triple. This is because they work more like an old Suntour barend shifter with larger movement between "clicks." Just make the shift on the chainring and then trim with a "click" if needed to adjust the FD from rubbing the chain.

I spent two hours the other night tweaking my ridding buddy's Ultegra STI Shifters-RD and 105-FD in order to get everything perfectly aligned. I almost used bad language for a pastor.
