good news! as I am about to assemble a mix of Campy 10 speed cranks and derailleur with an 8 speed XTR cassette. I was going to use the 9 speed Campy chain I had in the spare parts box. Everything I've read is that the inner chain dimensions are close to the same. My toughest decison... Simplex Retrofriction downtube shifters or Campy 10 speed bar end shifters.
