Okay, this is probably the dumb question of the day, but indulge me before I go to all the trouble. . . Shimano bar ends will work just fine with an otherwise Campy drivetrain--yes? Much obliged.

No..

Bar ends have indexed shifting of the rear derailleur, just like ergo and STI levers. The cable pull is not the same between the brands. You need Campy bar ends with the proper speed (9 or 10).

Good question.

My gut would say "no". But I can't say for sure. You might have better luck asking/posting that question on slowtwitch.com's boards. triathletes, or folks who use them on a reg. basis may get a definitive answer. Sheldon Brown at Harris cyclery might be able to answer too. POst what you learn, that is a good bit of knowledge to know since the Campy bar-cons are so expensive. Try x-post at the commuting/touring board too?

Well, yes.

Use the bar-cons in friction mode and they will work fine.

second alternative is to use a Jtek Shiftmate (version #3) which adapts Shimano indexed shifters to Campy 10 speed drivetrains.

Shiftmate available here -- http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/shiftmate.html

Among other places.

They will work in Friction Mode on the rear. Front shifter is friction already.

How many cogs on the drivetrain?
