What cable set to use for Campagnolo 8 speed?
I've broken a shifter cable on my 8 speed Record Ergopower, and would like to replace all the shift and brake cables and housings at the same time for convenience sake. I can't find a kit that contains all I need. Everything I find for Campy now says 9 thru 12 speed, but not 8. Is there a compatible kit out there I haven't found?

It is a mystery why Campagnolo mark them as said above they will work fine. For $100 the Campagnolo Ergopower Maximum Smoothness Set actually says compatible with 8 to 12 speed transmissions.
