Will 10 spd camp ergo shifters work with both double and triple cranks if the proper deraillers are
used or do I need to buy a special Triple STI unit like I do with Dura Ace?

Campy uses the same shifters for triple and double. BTW you don't have to use the proper front
derailleur, because of the non-indexed left shifter you can use any derailleur which is specced for
the gears you're using. Hey, you can use almost any crankset as well.

so I could use a campy record ergo's with a triple ultegra 9 or chorus 10?

anyone know how to make campy 10 cassettes fit shimano 9 wheels or is that just not possible?

Sorry, not possible. Different spline pattern. But conversion cassettes are available.

With 10 sp Ergo shifters you can shift Campy 10 and Shimano 9. A
Cam[y 9 cassette can also be respaced to work on a 10 sp system.

You can't get the Campy cogs onto the hub body of a Shimano hub because the splines are different.
You can put an American Classic 10 sp conversion cassette on the Shimano hub.

Nothing special needed, Campagnolo ERGO has been double and triple compatible, all the left levers,
from the first day of introduction, way back in 1991 or so, until today.

No because the left ERGO shifter isn't indexed but it also isn't a pure friction shifter. It has a
series of detents (sp?) that gradually shift the derailleur. About three clicks for each chainring.
It's really more like indexed with multiple trim positions for each ring. On the other hand, I don't
see that indexing causes any problems but makes shifting so much more of a no-brainer than friction
shifting. I'm not very mechanically talented but I set up my Shimano 9 speed indexed bar-end
shifters in about 15 minutes. Shifts perfectly every time. No more friction shifting for me.

No, even if two left-hand Ergos (or l-h ratchets) could be used simultaneously somehow (I think
not). Left-hand ratchet steps are too large for fine tuning when hooked up to a rear derailleur.
Rear der. moves more per mm of cable pulled than front derailleurs do so you get indexing whether
you like it or not - just the wrong indexing.

Friction may be smoother and have fewer compatibility problems but it requires more attention and
can be slower (depending on systems).

... I have to say, I do like all these

For many years, I had the options of good quality friction and indexed with the same 6-speed
downtube levers. I could switch between modes at the twist of a ring and I was fully competent with
friction shifting from previous experience, but I always kept on on indexed. Why? Because indexing
is so much better - especially with 8+ speeds. Yes there can be problems but the joy of good
indexing makes it worth solving them.

Plain text would be appreciated, thanks. What is PGP? Something new-fangled? ;-)

Ergos can use any front changer and any crank as long as the changer can span the range.

Campagnolo Ten Ergo, Campagnolo rear changer and Shimano pattern rear hub? There are _several_
products for that. We stock the American Classic Ten cassettes which I like a lot
- cheap and effective.

You would have to pull the right side shifter blade out away from the bike ( which might be hard
with human fingers) to downshift and the right side release lever would be in the middle of your
palm, but otherwise, sure!
