Changing from Shimano to Campagnolo

I am thinking of putting some fulcrum racing 7 wheels on my commuter/second bike which is a Specialized allez. The wheels have come off my Wilier and have a campag hub/freewheel.

Is it possible to have Campagnolo groupset fitted to the Specialized? :? Any issues with bottom bracket? or would it be a better to have the rear wheel re-built on shimano hub?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

    You'd be able to fit a campy group to the specialized, but an easier option might be to get a shimano freehub body for the wheel.

    Big Red S is right.

    What you should do is email Campagnolo (their technical team are very good) and explain that you want to fit a Campag freehub body to your wheel. They will tell you the part number you need.

    Then contact Ribble or the UK distriibutor of campag and order the part.

    Removal/replacement of freehub body is a simple allen key operation... and you're away!
  • Thanks for that. I shall look into it.

    But he's already got a campy freehub body on the wheel, hasn't he? He wants a shimano one.
