    Yes -ish.

    IIRC, "conversion" cassettes can be used to convert the 8/9/10s Shimano freehub to Campag. However the 10s-only (new) Shimano freehub won't convert as it is shorter than the campag 10s - at least thats what it said on the Marchisio website last week.

    I think your options are 1) Marchisio, 2)American Classic, 3)if the wheels are Mavics, Mavic do their own block or 4) there is a conversion cassette mentioned in the current A5-sized RSI catalogue (UK agents for Ambrosio) but no details.

    Byercycles do 10 speed cassettes that fit shimano hubs but are campag spaced.
    Usual disclaimer.

    Just buy the campag version of the same wheel. Most GOOD wheels are suitable for both. Your local specialist retailer should point you in the right direction
