My 10 year old Colnago is now becoming my rain and commuting bike, but
it needs work. The rear wheel is shot--just doesn't stay true, and my
left 8-speed Ultegra STI shifter is toast. I want to get this bike back
on the road as economically as possible, but if I can swing it, upgrade
to 10 speed since I have a spare set of Mavic wheels that are 10 speed.
My question is this: Can I just replace the broken STI shifters with a
10speed version or do I need new front and rear derailleurs too? Also,
will my 10 year old Ultegra cranks work? Someone told me I had to
upgrade that as well. (No !!!!) Finally, will a 10 speed wheel fit the
frame of a 1996 Colnago? Did drop out width get bigger since the advent
of 10 speed or am I OK. I know that's a lot to choke down! Thanks for
any or all answers...
