I have Fulcrum 5 Cyclocross wheel set I purchased last year and can be used for road.

Can you somehow remove the rear Shimano hub and replace with a rear compatible Campagnolo hub? Is this hard to do? Seems easier than purchasing a another wheel, especially after I've only done 50 miles on it. Centaur rear hubs are a fair price under £50-70.

    you can, check ebay for a replacement, shimano ones are pretty cheap so imagine campy ones wouldn't be much, worth putting a post on the wanted classified pages as well, there have been a few people on here doing a switch from campy to shimano so they might still have the spare campy hubs

    Generally speaking no. It might not be straightforward to find the Fulcrum freehub for Campagnolo cassettes, meaning you might have to go via a shop. Depending on the hub, you need different tools, most likely Allen keys. If you have a helpful shop, let them sort it out, they won't charge you more than 5-10 pounds plus the cost of the freehub (maybe 40-50?)
