I've got the chance of a disc at a good price but it's on a shimano freehub. My TT bike runs a campag drivetrain so I need a converter casette. I know they exist but can't find anywhere selling them! Any ideas?

Thanks
Jon

    i bought one from surosa the other week - it doesn't state it on the site but the £34.99 is the aluminium carrier model too - which is more expensive than the nickel ones. (most places charge £39.99) - it came the next day too which I was impressed with.

    It's not the 'best' cassette you will ever pick up from a quality point of view - quite heavy really - but it allowed me to change my winter bike to campag without buying new wheels. It's coupled to 2008 spec campag centaur shifters and mechs and it shifts at least as well as the centaur cassette ever did.

    There's some Ambrosio ones on CRC. I think Surosa's cheaper though.

    Do you need a spacer behind the cassette?

    I'm thinking about getting one so I can use some brand new Vuelta wheels I've had sitting around for 2years on the Turbo

    Alernative is to swap the freehub body - sometimes this is fairly inexpensive.

    no - it just 'fits' as though it was a shimano cassette - although it is wider than a shimano10s cassette - it kind of 'overhangs' the edge of the hub body - hard to describe - but the wheel fits on and the shifting is excellent

    10spd Shimano cassettes need a spacer on 8/9/10hubs, but these campag spaced ones don't?

    no - well I didn't use one and there certainly isn't room for one!

    Parker International sell the Marchisio cassettes - expensive but nice and light. I ran one for several years until I realised I could change the freehub body on my new set of wheels :!:
