Tim Lines said:I've got a set of campy mirage 9 speed ergo levers and a Mirage rear
derailleur that needs replaced. How do I know whether I need a
pre-2001 or post-2000 derailleur? The ergo levers say "Mirage" on
them and the brake levers are metal, not composite.
Your Ergos will be from an earlier year than 2000 so you'd be best off
with a pre-2001 rear derailleur. (2001 was the year cable pull changed).
2000+ Mirage Ergos levers are composite.
2001+ Mirage Ergo bodies are marked "9 SPEED".
Quoted message said:I do not know whether these shifters were manufactured as 9 speed or
whether they are upgraded 8 speed shifters.
8sp Ergos had pointy hoods (as did very early 9-speed's). Most users find
the bodies with the rounded hoods more comfortable.
