I have a bike outfitted with Campy Record 8-speed and would like to
upgrade it to 10-speed. Do I need components other than shifters,
cassette, chain, and wheels?
Thanks for the help.

Wheels? No, just the rear hub would need replacing. Certainly the
front wheel is not a problem. BTW, yoru derailleurs will work fine.

You need some 10-speed Campy shifters obviously. Add a rear wheel with a
8/9/10 speed Shimano freehub and a Shimano or SRAM 10-speed cassette. Plus
a compatible Shimano or SRAM 10-speed chain.
You can keep your current front and rear derailleurs. In fact this will
work better if you use your pre-2001 Campy rear derailleur.
A pal just did this. Works flawlessly.

Did some googling and found this thread. There may be others.
