Campy-shimano FD question
Hey all,
Is there any way to use a current set of campy 9spd shifters with a MTB crankset? Would I use a campy triple FD, or one for MTB? Just settin up my commuter with parts I have laying around....
PS
I have the rear der, cassette, etc. setup fine, just don't know about the front.

Campagnolo front shifters aren't indexed, and can therefore be used with any front derailleur.

Thanks mang. That's what I figured, but I didn't know if cable pull would be an issue (basically if the brifters' throw was long enough to get to both ends).
