Is Campagnolo 10 speed over?
I was considering trying out an inexpensive 10/8 Shimergo setup, but Veloce 10 speed levers are nowhere in sight. Anyone know if that’s the end for them, or is this a temporary supply issue? Maybe the universe is telling me to stick with my indexed DT shifters?

Hold off. My crystal ball tells me they're working on telekinetic shifting.

It's been a while since I checked, but the last time I did, the UK sellers (e.g., https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/, where I've bought Veloce 10-speed for around $100 several times) weren't allowed any longer to sell those to US-based customers. I don't recall finding them from US sellers.

10 is so far away now, its on to 13!
I was hunting around for some 11 speed
"alloy" Campagnolo 11 speed stuff... whole classes of what were "new" groups are GONE. Potenza? we hardly knew you.
I am thinking Microshift now.

I realize 10 is pretty old, but I am a flat lander and feel no need for going greater than an 8 speed cassette. I will embrace the DT shifters for now.

Well I just bought a new 10 speed Veloce cassette, so they’re obligated to make shifters for them right?
At any rate, used 10 speed Campy is reliable, lasts almost forever and can be rebuilt if it doesn’t.

Fwiw, if you can find 11-speed Campy brifters, they play perfectly with 9-speed Shimano cassettes/RD.

10-spd over? I'm still riding 9-spd except for my gravel bike which is 10. How many speeds do we need? Or is it the cool kids that ride 12-spd now?

Uh, I'm still riding a 7 x 3 Shimano drivetrain. And it's my only bike with brifters. Was just given a set of Campagnolo hubbed freehub wheels. Now I get to figure out what'll work with it.
