Help please!!! - Compatibility issues

[jlager]

Can anyone help with the following two issues please?

1. I am currently in the process of converting an old Raleigh Banana into a daily commuter and as part of that I am moving over some of the SORA kit from my Road Bike (Front and Rear Mech/ Chainset / Wheels). The Banana frame does not have a mount for the Rear Mech so I need to get a drop-out adapter but am not sure which? There seems to be a lot of different adaptors - does anyone know which is suitable? (The wheel is 9 speed)

2. I have got my hands on a nice Campagnolo Scirocco 35 wheelset which currently has a 9 speed Campag cassette on the rear wheel. These wheels will be going on my Road bike with a new 105 11-speed groupset. The question is whether or not the new 11 speed Shimano cassette will fit on the existing rear hub (unlikely?!) and if not, whether I will be able to fit a new Shimano hub to the wheel and keep the 3 spoke pattern? (I poked my head into a local bike shop to ask this question and they were pretty negative)

Apologies for the long post but any help on the above would be much appreciated.

1) no idea. Is the frame 126oln or 130? (I suspect 126, you'll possibly need to get it reset to get the indexing to work. Suck it and see, but budget for some time/money to fix it. (Actually, I think problem solvers have a universal hanger, might be a good place to start, anything that adds a lug in the right place will work, 9 speed isn't relevant)
2) just use a campag 11 cassette, key dimensions are close enough to identical that 11 speed wheels are interchangeable. None of your other ideas will work without a load of hassle and expense. And possible failure.

Thanks for the reply - it is 126 oln. I'll have a look at problem solvers.

Sounds like the campag 11 speed cassette is the answer - another shiny tool inbound!

Re:

You should be able to get a Shimano freehub body for the Campag wheels. IIRC, you can buy Campag wheels with Shimano freehub bodies, so they should sell them aftermarket too. You can definitely get Shimano freehub bodies for Fulcrum, which are pretty much the same hubs.

Good point, I thought that with having a 9 speed cassette on the back it was an older (much older) wheel.

Turns out it's still current, you might be able to get a plug and play fulcrum freehub body and use shimano cassettes. Well need some poking through the technical documents to find the right part though.

Re:

Thanks again guys. My plan at the moment is to fit an 11 speed campag cassette onto the existing hub and use it with a new 11 speed 105 drivetrain.
