Mixing campy and shimano ??
Hi, is there a problem with using a campy cassette with a shimano derailleur? What about vise versa?? Can you use a 9 speed shimano/sram chain on a 9 speed campy cassette?
I know that the free hub bodies for campy and shimano are different...
Thanks!

I put an SRAM chain on my 9 speed Campy Veloce/Daytona bike this past summer. Works just fine. Whether an actual Campy chain would shift better or not, I'm not sure.
I don't think mixing the cassette and derailleurs would work well due to spacing differences. Haven't tried that grand experiment, though.

Thanks! But I use friction shifting on all my bikes (even new ones)...
So matching the ratios isn't a problem, I just want to know if i can mix using friction mode downtube or bar end shifters...
Let me know, thanks!

In that case, almost anything will work. Just get the correct chain for your cassette.
