Yeah, I ordered a 13/29 cassette for the moutain centuries. That's the largest I can go with a short cage derailleur and that's beyond the specs that Campy states. If this doesn't work, then I will simply put my triple on it. I will have to change the bottom bracket and get a new FD, but that's not that big a deal.
