Interesting! Would one use a Shimano rear derailer with such a setup? Steve

The cable pull on 10 speed Camp ergo shifters matches the spacing on 8 speed ShimaNo splined cassettes. Many Monstercrossers have use this combo because they prefer the Campy lever feel to the ShimaNo and you don't have that messy cable to deal with. ( shift cable is routed under bartape). And ShimaNo and SRAM and IRD all make the big tooth touring cassettes. (Campy's biggest is 29t). I have this set-up on my tandem and it works great. ~Mike~ On Apr 8, 1:18 pm, Ron Farnsworth <r2far...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Regarding the Shimano road triples being on the tall side, you do know that > you can put together an IRD 13 - 34 in the rear?
