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