Sooooo sick of clicking on ads for "40%!" "55%" off!" only to find the deal's for Campy hubs. No, not switching from Shimano. Just getting burned out trying to find a good... okay, great deal on wheels.
Sorry, wasn't clear... I mean a 3rd party wheel, e.g. Reynolds, Zipp, etc. configured for Campy cassette. You know, you click the drop down that would have Campy, Shimano/SRAM... and it's only Campy.
Sounds like someone needs to make the switch . I've always felt that the only way I'd go Shimano is in the electronic grouppos. For mechanical I think Campy is king.
@jta- bikerjulio's referring to the spacing on the freehub body. You can run a Shimano cassette on a Campy freehub body, and vice versa. I believe you will just need a spacer behind your Shimano cassette and it should work. Just don't forget to adjust that low limit screw on your R/D.
This is news to me. Are you saying that Shimano/SRAM 11-speed cassettes are now interchangeable with Campag 11-speed without changing the freehub body? I thought the spline spacings on the freehub body were different. If they are now both the same then either Shimano or Campag have changed and presumably there are backward compatibility issues with 10-speed?
The splining is quite different, but the 11-speed spacings are now compatible. Only drawback presently is the higher cost of a Campy 11-speed casette vs Shimano.
Okay, that makes more sense. So you could use a Campy 11-speed wheel and cassette in a Shimano drivetrain and vice versa with maybe minor dérailleur adjustments.
