Message: Sorry, Roberto, neither the 9-speed or 10-speed Daytona or Centaur levers will work with a Shimano rear end. Totally different cable throw, totally different rear derailleur geometry. And the cog spacing is different just enough that it wouldnt be worth it if that was the only thing. The front shouldn't be as far off , but the cable throw/derailleur geometry problem is there again. I dont know what your set upis , but those Ergopower levers are specifically designed for Campy dual-pivot brake calipers, (which are really powerful!) and it sounds like you wont be using a brake like that , on a bike with a Deore XT f/r derailleur. Just some thing to think about.Cheers !
