Hi
Last year I upgraded my Mercian Audax to 10sp triple using Centaur QS ergo’s plus the recommended mechs for triple 10sp.
The set up is fine apart from the front changer needs much greater effort to shift up than any previous set up I’ve had, and on a long ride I’m finding it a bit much.
I looked at the instructions for the front mech and it mentions ‘higher force to effect shifting’ when used with non-QS mechs – they aren’t kidding!
OK, so I bought the wrong mech, but after trailing through Campag’s web-site I’m not sure if they actually make a QS triple-compatible, 22t range front mech!
Please tell me I’m wrong!
Best regards

Hello Phil
Unfortunately you are correct there is no front changer for this size of ring they are made to be used with a 30t inner ring only. We are aware of the difficulty you are experiencing and are a lose to be able to help.
