cassette to fit campag hub with shimano spacing

triathlondaz

Does anyone know if any cassettes are available to fit a campag 10 speed hub but spaced for shimano 10 speed?
thanks

Is swapping the freehub not an option with your wheels??

thats what I planned but i'm not sure which one I need, they are Zipp 808 and there are 2 shimano 10 speed ones available #confused?

If it helps, they have a Zipp 188 hub, just send an email to denham@zipp.com he should be able to give you an answer if you don't find it yourself

Thanks all, i've took the freebody off today, very quick and easy to do. Ordered the shimano one for £85

anyone want to buy the campag one with a free cassette

Just use the Campag cassette and it'll work. Sheldon Brown's website has the spacings and there's not much difference.

The diffence is big enough to cause a problem.

yep, get a shiftmate

..or an Ambrosio Cassette. They do Campag fit for Shimano spacing and vice versa. I have a pair of Dura Ace 1380's on my Colnago which is Campag 10 speed, works fine.
If you go 11, apparently, the spacing is identical.

Not true, unfortunately.

Campagnolo were approached by Shimano when they were working on 11s to co-operate on a standard overall width for the cassette and that is what we have.

However, there are differences in the inter-sprocket spacing of a Campagnolo 11s cassette and a Shimano one. This is because the two companies take fundamentally different approaches to the geometry of cable recovery and rear derailleur movement. Additionally, Campagnolo vary, in 11s, the sprocket-to-sprocket spacings even between different sized sprockets - so the gaps between 11, 12 and 13 on an 11-up cassette differ from those between the 12-13-14 on a 12-up cassette.

Having said that, the 11s cassettes will run interchangeably it's just that the shifts and smoothness of transmission post shift won't be as good as they should be with longer-term possibilities of increases wear and tear as a result.

Living in a world of approximations, I'll take that as an endorsement...
