I only recently found out that there were 2 diameters and about to buy a box (100). I hate to buy the wrong diameter - most of my bikes are campy 9 and 10 speeds and eventually 11.
I am about to purchase a box and split with a friend but unsure which diameter to purchase.
IS there any guides as to which cables are for what models or just get the 1.2mm and call it a day.
Do not- and I cannot emphasize this strongly enough - DO NOT
install not-Campagnolo wires into your Ergo shifters[1].
The gear wire heads of the classic era were small, as
Campagnolo uses still. The revisionist modern larger gear
wire heads (everybody else who makes gear systems) will go
in, pop down inside the lever and only come out with extreme
effort = time = $$$.
[1] Big head wires in classic era downtube shifters are even
harder to remove, an often fatal exercise.
