  1. I've been using a converted 9sp ergo shifter with a 9sp Centaur rear derailleur and a Shimano 9sp
    cassette with little fuss, but, because of a crash and because I think some of the older derailleurs
    just look better, I'm considering getting a Record or Chorus 8sp derailleur.

    Will the 9sp shifter shift an 8sp derailleur properly (with the Shimano cassette, though I think
    we've established acceptable functionality there)?

    Also, since I'm asking, are the left ergos rebuildable as triples the same way one swaps the
    ratchet in the right shifter? How about functionality of triple front derailleurs shifted by
    double shifters?

    Thanks,

    Seng

    yes, w/o modification, including no need for pulley swap.

    All Campagnolo ERGO, from the first day of ERGO to today were/are double AND triple..no need to
    change anything.

    Didn't when I tried it.

    Left ergo will work with any front derailleur - double or triple.
