Mixing Dura-Ace and Record
A couple of months ago me and a buddy of mine built up an 06 Tarmac using both dura-ace and record mainly because it was all I had available and needed a spare bike. Heres the setup:
DA components: Brakes, chainrings/crankset, FD
Record components: Shifters, RD, chain, cassette
Everything has been running smooth so far but I just had a few questions that I was hoping someone could help with. First, because I have a DA chainring, will the record chain cause it to wear down faster? Also, would it be possible to change the Record chain and cassette to DA? Thanks
DA components: Brakes, chainrings/crankset, FD
Record components: Shifters, RD, chain, cassette

assuming 10-sp everything, use whatever chain you want, they are all the same width. a DA cassette will not index correctly with the record shifters, you need to stick to campy 10-sp cassettes (centaur, veloce, chorus, record, sr...)

What he said. It really sounds to me like you've got the best of both worlds on that bike. Sounds like a nice ride!

you're almost there ... get rid of this stuff (DA components: Brakes, chainrings/crankset, FD) before it breaks and leaves you stranded and you'll be ok.

Shimano style rear hub
Plus whatever else nice kit you like... having just fully overhauled some old STI levers, I feel qualified to state the whole idea is as rubbish as Campy rear hubs. Ergo FTW.
