Component Combatibility
I am in the process of building a new road bike. Does anyone know what components from different companies are compatible?
Specifically, I am looking to use Shimano Ultegra shifters and derailleurs with a Campy Centaur Compact Carbon Double Crankset and a SRAM 1070 OpenGlide Cassette. Does anyone know if these parts are compatile or am I wasting my time?
Thanks

Shimano and SRAM cassettes are identically spaced so that is no problem. Using Ultegra shifters with a Campy double crank and front derailleur should also be no problem. Double cranks are pretty tolerant. Triple cranks are where the mis-matches can cause difficulties.
