Hi

I have some fulcrum 7 wheels that I want to put on one of my bikes. The bike I want to put them on has shimano 105 groupset but the wheels are Campagnolo hub (freebody).

I seem to remember hearing about a conversion device you can get to convert shimano freehub to Campagnolo. Does anyone know if there is something available that works the other way round? My other option is to have the wheel rebuilt on to the 105 hub but I'm just trying to find out if there's a work around.

Cheers

    you got three choices here:

    1. Conversion cassette ... google for these, or search this forum as it's been discussed before. I've never used one.

    2. JTEK shiftmate ... small device that adjusts the cable pull on the rear derailleur. I have used one and it works a treat. Allows you to use shimano cassette on shimano freehub with campag rear deraillieur (or vice versa)

    3. change the freehub body. for campag wheels you need to give a shop like condor a call who should be able to provide you with the part. campagnolo technical services (by email) are very good if you need advice.

    Check out Byercycles www.byercycles.co.uk They do a shimano compatible cassette that fits on a camag freehub.
    I have only two things to say to that; Bo***cks
