My latest franken drive train will it explode?

Currently in Coyhaiqui. I dunno why people get all stressed about drive trains. In my latest version I dropped some high end gears and went franken in preparation for ripio.

Campag gen 2 ergo triple levers
Tied to a xennon clamp on front
shifting a Deore 44_32_22: The 32 gets a little spun out on tar

Dura-ace 8sp bar-con
tied to a deore 9sp derailleur
shifting a 11_32 on a 130 spaced ultegra hub attached to a 26in A719

oh the breaks are meh shimino cantis with cool stop salmon.

I just hate left hand bar-con shifting and love gen 2 ergo hoods.

This is such an unusual combination, I would be surprised if anybody could predict anything. If you're looking for the pat on the back for getting it to work- you got it!
