If you mean a Campy RD or similar, the procedure In The Day was to tap out the DO for the Campy thread. BUT..you also had to file a notch to serve a stop. I have always refused to mutiliate perfectly good Simplex DO's on this way. These best and obvious solution is to simply use a Simplex RD. The high end ones, including Criterium and SLJ always shifted much better than Campy anyway.
