I have an older Campag hub and have ordered a ten speed cassette for my down tube shifters; is it going to fit on?? I had heard since that 8 and 10's are not interchangable. What about 9's if so: which do they fit??
Cheers in advance!!

    9,10 & 11 have the same spline pattern - the 8 speed is different so if your hub is an 8 speed, it won't fit and I don't think you can find a replacement freehub to fit either.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    8 speed had deeper splines - the 9 speed freehub body is longer and has shallower splines - probably to allow biggesr bearings to be fitted. Suggest you change your hub to 10 speed - there's still a big secondhand market for 8 speed Campagnolo kit. Change was about 14 years ago!
