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

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 = $$$.

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

Why should it. Here is a very small group that cannot agree on the
type of lights, chain lube, helmets, presidents, or practically
anything else.

Why should cable ends be different :-?
