Campy bar-end shifters
I currently have bike with a mixture of Campy Mirage and Veloce nine-speed components. I would like to go to bar-end shifters. Is it possible to use the current Campy ten-speed shifters, and install a nine-speed cam, or do I need to search for a set of nine-speed shifters as NOS?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I believe a J-Tek shiftmate is available for mating Campy 10 speed shifters with Campy 9 speed drivetrain. I have heard the Shiftmates work well.

If you can locate the right cam, you can convert the 10s levers to 9s, no problem.

No problem on the barcons. I'm running a Veloce triple crank with Mirage 9 sp ders. My LPB orderded the Ergo, $10. and that's all she wrote. The Jtek mentioned above is the #1. You can use it to mate pre 2001 set of shifters with a post 2001 rear der. That's an undocumented fix though.
Good luck on the barcons. They work great.

+1 on the Jtek. It works extremely well and, if you decide to go to 10-speed anytime in the future, the barends are ready to use as is.
