When I had my green Salsa La Raza I used the <a href="http://jtekengineering.com/shiftmate.htm" rel="nofollow">JTek Shiftmate</a> on Campy 10 shifters with a Shimano 8/9v drive-train. It would seem now though, with all 8 and 9 speed Shimano stuff is becoming harder to come by, that I'm not as sure what a good upgrade/downgrade path is. Prior to the JTek I used Campy 10 shifters on a 9 speed Shimano XTR rear derailleur (with the alternate cable clamp position) and it worked perfectly. If anything, the <a href="http://www.hearingoffice.com/bike.htm" rel="nofollow">alternate cable clamp position</a> worked better than the JTek on my cheap RSX Shimano rear derailleur (shifting 9v Shimano).

Ultimately, if I ever get another multi-speed touring/cross bike together I may just go with Shimano 8 speed bar-end shifters and call it a day. But do let me know how it works out.

Would you say that it's been as precise as a setup with shimano shifters or an all campag scenario? I'm thinking about taking this route since 8speed sti is proving difficult to come by. Best, Ian Hi Mark,
