2003 Campy R.Der Compaitbility

[takman]

Hey! I am ready to pick up a 2003 rear derailler for a song and want to use it with my 98 record ergo levers and drivetrain. Will a 9sp chain fit? Will I need to swap out the pulleys? I am pretty sure that there will be no problems with shifting.

Are there anyone out there who has done something similar?

Oops! Meant to say a Record 2003 rear derailler!

This combination shifts Shimano 9s spacing (narrower). If you want Camp. spacing, price an index
wheel for your ergo's in the "deal" Tom

My bad. The reverse of my previous post is true. You will have to get the index wheel. Tom

You'll need to replace the ratchet in your Ergo levers to get good shifting, as Campagnolo changed
their derailleur parallelogram a couple of years back. I had to do this when my 1998 derailleur
cracked across the mounting bolt housing and the replacement 2001 derailleur Campagnolo gave me
shifted poorly until I also changed the ratchet in the levers.

It will work fine w/o changes anywhere or any modification..We use 2003/4 rear ders as replacement
ders for all Campagnolo shifters...from 1988 indexing to modern ERGO...

In my experinece, as we put new, 2003 rear ders on even 1993-4 8s ergo...they work fine w/o
modificatiuon..regardless of Campagnolo or some web sighters may say.

The ratchet costs something and it's not an easy job to get those springs back. It'd be far better
to either get a correct derailleur or make do with a "wrong" one. People with more experience than
me say old with new and vice versa "work fine" - although I must admit that I didn't have much luck
either when I tried using an old mech with new Ergos.
