Thanks.

I can't see why it wouldn't be possible.

I'll bet it'd be very, very difficult to figure out the
spaces for the teeth. (Read: LOTS of money)

Mike No need to machine a shift disc for shifting Shimano
derailers with Campy levers. Visit the HubBub site for
Brian Jenkins setup on this system. I've used it numerous
times with success every time.

The early Sachs system was rebadged Campagnolo (the
pointy Ergo) and in some versions compatible with Shimano
of that era.

With current Ergos,there is a host of experimental data for
mixed systems.

One route to using your Shimano nine wheels is simply a
Campagnolo Nine Ergo and a Campagnolo rear changer. We use
Wippermann chain with that, Vecchio's uses Shimano chain. At
any rate, there are a lot of bikes with that setup. You
needn't go to extreme measures.

Well, probably possible to make a disc that is shimano
compatible, to fit into a ERGO lever but why? Recent
compatibility shows that it really isn't necessary. Just get
a Campagnolo rear der, shimano cogset, go ride.

you can use separate cogs and replace the spacers with campy
spacers. then you have the right distance.

Still, there is a certain elegance to the idea of a Shimano
shift disk.

I have gathered some more experience recently on Sachs-
Shimano compatibility. I was able to get my hands on two NOS
Sachs derailleurs. One was an older ARIS Rival and the other
an all-alloy version of the Quarz. The Rival did not work
particularly well with the 7s Shimano setting on my Morphos
shifters but the Quarz works essentially perfectly. I am
still curious about where the different versions of the New
Success derailleurs fall out. There is also another variable
in this unscientific experiment, the superior quality of the
Quarz over the Rival.

The Quarz was built in a short cage road version but what
was the shifter for it? Doesn't seem like it could be the
same as the ARIS compatible shifters. If there was a Quarz
compatible brake lever shifter, it would probably have a
pure Shimano 8s compatible Campy shift disk. Are the Sachs
shift discs available from Campy (or anyone)? It also seems
like it might be possible to calculate the size of the
Shimano shift discs (8s, 9s, and 10s) by making careful
measurements of existing discs, and comparing them to the
known values for their corresponding cable movement.

The all-alloy Quarz is a *very* nice derailleur, BTW. Still
made in France (are SRAM derailleurs made in France?) at
that time.
