Buy these

VELOCE 8sp down tube braze on shifters #SL-11SVLCG 1995-97

At around 50 pounds UK from here -

Campyoldy - Campagnolo parts and accessories for 'vintage' cycles | Stock File


And then order and insert the 10sp washer to convert them from 8 to 10sp. The washer can be obtained from Marinoni in Canada or Branford Bike in the US.

The stops are included, you don't have to clean off the glue from rubber lever covers.

Hi, i'd also like to take a stab at this. i have a set of bar end 10 speed so i would rather not buy and upgrade the Veloce. I'm working on a 98 Trek 2300 and looking for the dog ear washer. anybody know where to get them.
Also, there are several campy downtube shifters on ebay, vinatge record, nuovo record and triomphe that have the washers. anybody know which one will work?
thanks

I did get the veloce DT shifters 8 speed and changed the index ring for a SL-RE319. I works fine on the stand but on the road most of the time the rear derailleur is shifing to the next higher gear all by itself. Could it be the veloce infinite rear derailleur?

Thanks for that, Chooey!

Subcommandante Pucci, I still use 9 speed D/A shifters.

Indeed.
No question my friction downtube shifters put me at a disadvantage riding next to Mr. Sand with that cool bling technology.

Nice thread--thinking of doing this on a new to me Riv Custom. Besides brute force, is there a trick to get the rubber grips off? Can they be put back on again if you decide to go back to bar cons?

No trick - just pull them off. There will be some glue on the shifter that you'll have to clean off.

Putting them back on should be as simple as a bit of glue.

A source for the needed washer would be appreciated, too. Thanks.

I haven't read the whole thread, but I see stop plates/washers mentioned. Check with Ochsner. Best to call and order. Their e-commerce connections can be finicky.

If you can't find the stop plates, make them. It's about a ten minute job with a jigsaw and a file.

How are your Internet forum search skills? There's someone in the Paceline classifieds who had these made, they're stainless steel and very nice. I'm willing to bet that not everybody who bought them used them.

-- MA crackpot who likes his 9v so much he put 10v on a new bike. And that one doesn't ghost shift the front because it's PegoRichie.

I have two bikes with 9 speed down tube shifters and one with 10 speed...I would be curious if Simplex retrofriction would work with Campagnolo 10 speed cassettes?

Only if you're OK with the right shifter pointing at the bottom bracket when you're in the largest cog. The barrel is so small it needs a 180-degree swing to get all the cable pull you need.



PS That's a picture of my shrink.

It helps to put a little heat-shrink tubing on the barrel end of the shift cable. Makes it nicer with slant parallellogram derailleurs too.

P.S. That's one schwanky saddlebag.

As some may know the plastic housing on Campagnolo 9/10 spd bar end shifters eventually cracks, without fail.

Anyway I have someone who is 3D printing me some new ones (housing only) in titanium, I’m hoping this will work as all my sets have cracked in the same way. I’ll post a pic once they are hopefully done.

Have you ever considered trying to get your hands on some 2nd generation Campagnolo Retroflection shifters as they have a larger barrel so possibly requires less than the 180 degree swing of the lever?
