Thinking about STI's...

Thanks for the input everyone!

7 spd is 5mm, 8 is 4.5 so its different.

if you can get some campag 8 speed ergos, they will work straight off with your 6 spd back end. I know, I used this for years

That appeals! So the spacing was different on camag stuff? As wide as shimano 6 speed?

I was reading my earlier reply and a cheaper option (than I originally suggested) would be to find a 7 speed Uniglide cassette (rare) or add another sprocket to yours and use 7 speed spacers and then find some 7 speed RSX shifters.

But if Campag works then go for that, and let us know how well they work!

Are these any good to you?

Blimey, they could work! As per your other thread, would you be able to collect & post (remunerated obviously!)

That is amazingly generous. Inspiring stuff

Just to jump onto this thread if I may. . .

I have a 7 speed freewheel (not cassette) and am planning to get a modern 8 speed STI lever (Shimano Sora) and wondered if that would index with my seven sprockets?

Reading the above it seems like a "maybe" but it'd be great to have confirmation.

well, I won the ebay auction for the 7 speed STI's, and I have a 7 speed uniglide cassette in the post, so I'm afraid I won't be able to comment on the whole 8/7/6 compatibility!

@Scillysuffolk: The vendor is posting them out to me after all, but thanks again for your kind offer & for bringing them to my attention in the first place
