I have a pre Ultra Drive (1997 thru 2000) 9 speed cassette which is classified as a titanium cassette. My question is must I use this with certain other titanium components of that era or could I routinely put this on a later Ultra Drive drivetrain. I know there was a year when, in the 8-speed era, the titanium version cassette could only be used with the titanium 8-speed group. I think that was 1996. This cassette is soon after. Can someone please clear this up for me? I've looked at the Campy catalogs and I haven't been able to determine the answer. Are just some of the cogs titanium or is the body titanium as well? Thanks!

I think the 9-sp was more universal, but an all-Ti 9-sp group would be pretty cool. Some sellers price those components high, but the market it so small, I've also seen them go pretty reasonably. Go to Branford Bikes on line and they should have the info somewhere on there about compatibility.
