I can't think that there is another issue. Are you planning on using it with a triple? I presume
that Campy was planning on that, and that you were planning on a bib-big combination of 53 x 26 or
something. So if the chain is long enough for that, it may be too long for the granny - 11
combination. After all, this isn't a derailleur Campy intends for touring- the call it a "racing
triple" after all...
How much difference can 1 tooth make, anyway? Go for it.
