Campy Tiple 9/10 speed mix question

[Tony The Tiger]

I have a 10 speed Record Triple RD, FD, Crankset, and BB.

Can I use these components with 9 speed ergo shifters and a 9 speed chain? (trying to maintain the
ability to use my current shimano 9s rear wheels and cassettes).

Thanks,

Tony

If wheel interchangeability is your paramount goal, get a Campagnolo nine cassette for your
Campagnolo wheels. Then you could use either wheel in either bike. The other stuff you mention works
fine in a nine or ten system.

yes w/o problem or modification. We do this all the time, even with 7 and 8s rear sytems-

I do it all the time. The shifters and derailleurs don't care. I'm not even sure you can get Record,
Chorus, or Centaur 9sp derailleurs anymore. Veloce says 9sp but shifts 10 fine.
