Campagnolo Centaur Front Derailleur HELP, please!

Okay, so, I'm building up a Campy drive train and while piecing together the components off eBay, someone sent me a Flat Bar front derailleur instead of a regular road. My question is, is it usable? It is Centaur 10sp, just like the rest of the group. Compatible with 39/53 and Quick Shift. Is the pull the same? Will it screw the shifting? Will it be just fine? Please help. THANKS!

 

It'll work.

 

Thanks, I needed some reassuring.

 

The "pull" is supposedly different, but as long as you are not using a Xenon-based QS shifter, you will be fine ...

If you are using a Xenon-based QS shifter with a Double crankset, then the shifter may-or-may-not adequately move the derailleur cage.

The additional indexing indent which normally allows the shifter to work with a Triple may be enough to move the chain across a Double with the particular front derailleur ... or, not!?!

Put a piece of (clear/tan) packing tape on the insides of the front derailleur cage ... install ... test.
​

If it doesn't work, you'll need to send it back OR wait until you get different shifters.

 

What he said. The FB FD is the same dimension as 2007/8 FDers, even with QS shifters.
