Subject: Campy drivetrain, Shimano freehub
|
Hi All,
I know this sort of thing comes up repeatedly, but here goes anyway.
I am building a bike for my son and I have aquired some wheels which
have a Shimano freehub. These are aftermarket wheels. The bike has
Campy 10-speed Mirage/Xenon components. A Wheels Mfg kit is too
expensive for this bike. What should I do to make this work well?
I know I could build a regular wheel with a Mirage hub (if I could
find a suitable rim), or something like that, but these are "boutique"
wheels and they are the ones I've got for the project, and being a
funky size (540), they are not going to be swapped unless absolutely
necessary.
Suggestions?
Joseph

Or use the Campy RD he already has and normal cable routing. That
shifts a S9 cassette just dandy.

Shimano 9 cassette, shimano mechs, hubbub cable routing.
Works a treat.

I see I misread the table. I suppose I'll just try a 9-speed I have
lying around and if that doesn't work, a Shiftmate.

Use a Shimano or SRAM 9 or 10 speed cassette. If you use a 9, adjust
the low limit screw on the RD to lock out the last click. S9 spacing
is 0.05mm wider than C10, and S10 is 0.05mm narrower - entirely within
the system's tolerances. I posted in another thread last night that my
SRAM PG950 12-25 cassette shifts better on an otherwise Veloce 10s
drivetrain than the American Classic Conversion Cassette I tried.
Seriously, it works, just try it!

I concur. I posted in another similar thread; I've run Shimano 9 cassettes
with 9-speed Campy Shifters and mech. for several cassettes. Shifts just as
well as a full Campy setup.

Thanks for the Shimergo tip.
This seems to indicate that it'll work fine:
http://www.ctc.org.uk/DesktopDefault.aspx?TabID=3946#Campag
And that is good because 8 speed cassettes are nice and cheap.

I've just re-read the tables; needs the Shimano rear mechanism (also cheap)
as well as the Shimano 8 cassette, combined with the Campagnolo 10 ergo
shifter. The Campag 10 rear mechanism WON'T move the correct distances.
Your alternative with a Campag rear mechanism is the Shiftmate ($35) and a
Shimano 9 cassette.
( My planned tourer upgrade from 7 speed screw-on to cassette hubs has a set
of 2006 Ergo shifters sitting waiting for Shimano 8 speed bits to be bought
and assembled. )

Shimano 8 speed cassette.
Shimano rear derailleur (the Campag ought to work).
Campag 10 speed shifters.
Will work and shift properly.
