I only recently found out that there were 2 diameters and

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.




Mr Brown often quipped, "Standards are wonderful, so we have
a lot of them".
