Hi guys. Found a pair of above online for a stupidly cheap price from a very reputable seller. Only problem is they're Campag and I run Sram. All the checks I've made say it uses a standard FTSL-M10 freehub. So I'm guessing I could just purchase one of these for around £35, swap them over and sell the Campag one? I'm pretty sure I'm safe here but don't want to spend over a grand without being 100% sure!

    well easy....just need an allen key (5mm I think) and spanner....alley key fits in the axle...cone spanner to pull off the nut. freehub then pulls straight off....just watch for the springs and paws don't spring off !
    Its a 5min job at the most :-)

    Sure thanks turnerjohn. I've had the freehub off my Kysrium Elites a couple of times to add some oil and managed ok - apart from the springs pinging off the pawls lol! Just wanted to make sure as I say before dropping some serious cash:-0

    I'm looking to achieve the opposite and replace my Shimano cassette on my Elites with a Campy cassette.

    I am looking or Campy (11 spd) free hub if anyone knows where to get one?
