Campagnolo Hubs

Berk Bonebonce

I have a road-going ATB (135 OLD) and I am upgrading the Camapgnolo Icarus/Olympus kit on it.

In the days of cup and cone, you could easily convert a 130 OLD hub to 135. So, my questions are:-

1/ Are any of the current range of Campagnolo rear hubs cup and cone? (I am only familiar with the Record stuff - which I use on a road bike). If the current range includes a cup and cone model, then I can convert to 135 OLD - problem solved.

2/ If any of the current rear hubs aren't cup and cone, I got a problem. What would you do? The resulting set-up needs to be campagnolo 10 speed compatible.

Thanks.

And how the hell do you contact Campagnolo these days? Can't find an email address for customer service anywhere. How crap is that Mr Campagnolo?

You're pretty much buggered I'm afraid....no current Campag hub design uses cups, cones or an axle available in 135mm length.

Your options appear to buy a fancy 135 hub with a Campag compatible spline pattern (DT Swiss for example ?) or get Shimano hub and start faffing with spacer kits.

There are very few Campagnol o135mm OLN rear hubs out there - easiest fix is to get a Campagnolo-spaced, Shimano-splined cassette and use a regular MTB hub. There is no UK Campagnolo Service Centre since Italian Cycle Products went bust. Mercian or Parkers are worth a try.
