I want to buy a Fast Forward disc wheel for an 11 speed Dura ace set up but they only make a disc for 9 and 10 speed Shimano.They do an 11 speed campag disc and I have read that you can run Campag 11 speed wheels on Shimano 11 speed. Has anyone tried this?

    Lots of anecdotal evidence (see weight weenies for example) says it works. The spacing is very, very similar.

    That said, if I were spending carbon disc money I personally would want 100% compatibility, not 99.9%, but that's personal preference.

    Thanks for the info guys some interesting reading. Like you say though Major I'll want it to be 100% compatible.

    another way to look at it is how many spockets will you really use? You could get away with setting it perfect on say a 14 and then the slight out (if there is one) between 2 or 3 up/down would be unnoticable. May be out by time you climber to 23 but would you use it?
