Is it possible to put an 8 speed cassette on 10 speed wheels?

I'm doing a race next week and my new bike has not come in yet and all I have is my commuting bike with 8 speed Record.

I'd like to race on some better wheels than my 36 spoke tanks, but can only find 10 speed rear wheels. Are there some spacers I can put on to take up the extra space?

Thanks.

Yes you can convert a 9/10 speed wheelset to 8 speed. You can get a Campy 8 speed spacer conversion kit and then a 'losse cog'-Veloce 9 speed cassette. You leave out the largest cog (ie) 26t and assemble on the cassette body using the conversion kit spacers and it works perfect. Only problem is you will have to order/buy the required parts.
Good luck!

If you want an 8 speed hub, I will be glad to send you one.
