I only recently found out that there were 2 diameters and about to buy

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 = $$$.

Lack of standardization on such simple things often astounds me. It
shouldn't, because it's so common. But it still astounds me.

Ah but the Campy button is the original standard. The other larger ones were introduce a fair bit later by other companies who do NOT want standardization of components or parts.
