Campy QS derailleurs

stevek said:

I need to buy a new front derailleur for a Camp Centaur 10 speed
triple group (pre-Quick Shift). Does anyone know whether the new
Campy QS front derailleurs are compatible with older (i.e. pre-QS) 10
speed shifters? Or am I better off finding a pre-QS model (like a pre-
QS Campy Chorus 10 speed front triple)?

BTW -- in non-marketing speak, can anyone explain in simple terms how
the QS shifters differ from their non-QS brethren (particularly for
the front derailleur). Thanks.

Go into google groups rec.bicycles.tech and search for the thread from
from 4/21/07 entitled:

Campagnolo 2007 Record vs. 1st gen 10-speed (2002-2006)

According to the Campy website, you do need them both to get the full
benefit.

Not true at all. I have installed 2007 lever with older FDs and vice
versa. Inside, the shift disc for 2007 is the same part number as
2006..marketing going on, no real difference. ALL Fders became the
same as 2006 and earlier 'FB' Fdrs, i think for Campag to sabe $.
