Replacing Shimano Freehub on Campag Wheel

OnTheRopes

I need to replace the Shimano freehub on my Zonda wheel, will any Shimano freehub fit?

The part number you need is campagnolo FH- BUU015.

Nothing else fits. Buy from a seller that lists the part number. That's a seller that knows there part numbers and cares.

Thanks, I take it from your site its the HG version I need?

yes, from memory and should last ages but is very heavy. There is also a lighter alloy version, I think I have a spare steel one for my Fulcrum Racing Zero. Neither of these are 11 speed compatible. The newest version is 11 speed ( and backward compatible) and has a white coating, costs about £80 retail, the 10 see steel one is significantly cheaper. Make sure you get 17mm axle version. Happy to rummage through my spares for the steel one, £45 ? including postage (new and boxed, original campagnolo packaging) if you don't need 11 speed.

Thanks, the weight, whilst not desirable at any time is not a big issue as its only for winter training wheels, I just need them to work. It does need to be 11 speed though.

Another question if I may, I have a 10 speed Fulcrum wheel, is it possible to convert to 11 speed by changing the freehub?

You could put a campag freehub on and used Campag cassettes as campag 11sp = Shimano 11sp. Appreciate campag cassettes are more £££.

There are also people out there who will machine a regular 10 speed Shimano cassette to fit on a 11sp freehub.

That's a good point and I already use a Eurus wheel with a Campag cassette for Shimano gears on occasion so know it works okay.

Yes the 11 speed fits on the 10 speed hubs.

Fh-buo15 fits on steel axles hubs and fh-buu015 fits on alloy axled hubs.

The alloy body is Fh-BO015.

The Shimano version should have X1 as suffix but it is simpler to list the way I do as you have to explain what the X1 is.

Thanks, hopefully I ordered the right one from you then. I may have to order one for my fulcrum 10 speed rear wheel then.

campagnolo 11 speed and shimano 11 speed spacing is close but not the same. The shift will not be as clean with a mix and match approach. Its acceptable to many but not perfect.
