10spd campag cassette with wahoo smart trainers

Posts: 6
After some fairly extensive research and a bit of back and forth with wahoo over trying to fit my 10 spd campag bike to a wahoo kickr core, I seem to have got nowhere. Although I haven't bought it yet, I intend to buy the kickr core and believe an Ambrosio conversion cassette is the way forward for this. It appears that these cassettes don't actually exist anymore and I am therefore open to any suggestions that people might have that will allow me to connect my bike (aka a 10 spd campag groupset to a Shimano freehub)? Before people ask I do know that tacx offer a fairly pricey solution in that you can buy a campag freehub as well as the Shimano cassette however I do want to see if I can find a solution to this first as the tacx neo would work out a few hundred quid more and push beyond my budget.
Apologies for the waffle above, but I appreciate any help in advance.

Why not a Tacx Flux?0

Just because I believe the Core is better value for money and I am a little bit reluctant to buy the flux due to its previous reliability issues.0

I've heard it said that you can use 10 speed Shimano cassette with campag at a push - the indexing isn't good, but it might be enough for turbo use.
I'd imagine you could make a better approximation by rebuilding a Shimano cassette with the spacers from a campag one if the shifting is unusably bad.
It's also worth considering how you intend to use the turbo - if you use erg mode then you don't really need to change gear anyway.
Are you dedicating this bike to turbo use? You could just us a friction shifter, that would mean indexing doesn't matter anyway.0 -
New models released. Good deals on them. Loads cheaper than Wahoo. Excellent after sales. But you want the Wahoo I guess no matter what.joelharrop wrote:Just because I believe the Core is better value for money and I am a little bit reluctant to buy the flux due to its previous reliability issues.
Oh, and you can get a Campag freehub for the Tacx for about £30 to make things simple. But you'll still go for the Kickr.

I assume you're speaking about the Flux S it Flux 2?
I wouldn't go near a Flux 1 unless you paid me to.0 -

Yes. A Flux S or a Flux 2. But my comments were directed toward the OP
What's your objections to either of those?0 -
I found a site that still sells the Ambrosio cassettes:

May stock up for my winter bike.0 -
I think I've got one of the Ambrosio cassettes knocking about in my spares bin, if anyone is interested. 11-28, probably decent condition (it's a while since I've used it). It'll otherwise end up on eBay one day, but I'll post it for £15 and cut out the middle man :-)0

I appreciate your comments. The flux S doesn't quite meet the specification that I want and the flux 2 still isn't actually available yet even though it is a very similar specification to the wahoo so could consider it. On top of that I have first hand experience using the kickr core and I really liked what I saw with it.PinarelloPrince wrote:

I have looked on this website and when you actually get down to buying it, it doesn't show as being in stock. Again, I appreciate your response.super_davo wrote:I found a site that still sells the Ambrosio cassettes:

I would be very interested in taking you up on this if it's a Shimano freehub to campy 10 speed. Can you pm the details?jpj84 wrote:I think I've got one of the Ambrosio cassettes knocking about in my spares bin, if anyone is interested. 11-28, probably decent condition (it's a while since I've used it).

Nothing to the new ones, I have nothing against Tacx (I have a Neo)...
The flux 1 however is a completely different story0
