I'm trying to build a road bike for myself and have come to the
juncture where I need some expert advice. Up to this point I've
somehow managed to avoid buying incompatible parts, but choosing among
the variety and range of drive train options is proving to be a bit
overwhelming for a first time bike builder like myself.
So far I've purchased an Ultegra bottom bracket along with a Shimano
FC-6503 triple Crankset, these are currently installed on my bike and
I've also just purchased a low cost Shimano R-500 wheelset. Is there
anything in particular one needs to keep in mind when attempting to
mix Campagnolo derailleurs and "brifters" with a Shimano Ultegra
triple crank set?
Will I need to use a Shimano cassette and chain with the Shimano
triple crankset? Can I use Campagnolo derailleurs and "brifters" on
the bike or do I need special parts to make this work?
Thanks in advance
