And about MomoVelo, stay clear from them. They don't really exist anymore. The owner/operator of that joint has taken a hiatus. Be wary though as his Yahoo store might still operational and if you place an order, your card will most likely be charged and nothing will ship. There is no one to call to get a refund and rumor has it the owner, Kai, will not be back til spring 05.

How did you get the Chorus shifters to work with an Ultegra der and Shimano cogs?

Very carefully.
Actually if you look at one of the pics, you'll see a jtek pulley. This device is a dual grooved pulley that changes the ratio of cable pull. Designed to let you mix and match shifters/der/cassettes between manufacturers. https://www.jtekengineering.com for more info. I basically using Campy Chorus Ergo 10's with the rest being shimano 9spd, XT or Ultegra rear derailleur depending on cassette, and ultegra front. It shifts great, and I don't have to toss another set of Dura Ace STI ever again.

You only need the jtek for indexed shifting. Campy and Shimano have slightly different spacing.
