Setting Up 10 Speed Campy

Set it up like any rear der. Center the pulley on the smallest cog, rear der
and frameset barrel adjuster all the way in, inner wire wee bit slack, shift
once, turn barrel adjuster until pulley centered on second cog...shift up the
cogset, push on der body to ensure upper limit screw is set..then do the front
der...

Ok, I just did the adjustment, and at least on the stand it works fine. But
I remembered that Sachs, and maybe Mavic suggested to use the third or
fourth cog as the "set point". So I just went to official Campy site to see
what they had to say and they say to use the fourth cog.

Why would that be from a mechanical point of view? Does the tolerance for
center to center pulley under cog change as the deraillure arcs over the
course of the ten cogs? Or do they recommend the fourth cog because it is
easier to sight the c-c relationship?

Next I'll see what if anything Zinn has to say.

I realize this is "splitting hairs", and I'm more interested in what real
wrenches do than what an engineer says or a tech dude writes. I mean aren't
they same folks who say warranty voided if used in rain?

All shifting is referenced from the smallest cog. And THEN the shifter/der
moves the rear der a certain amount. If the distance is too little, then the
cable needs to be tightened. I don't know why they say this but they also say a
modern rear der won't work with old, 8s ERGO levers, or a short cage rear der
won't work with a 13/29 and a double and a long cage won't work with a 11t, and
you cannot convert a 1999 lever to 10s.....ETC....
