Campy cassette/hub compatibilty - Shamal 8-spd to 10-spd?
Have tried a number of combinations of wheels/cassettes/chainrings over last couple of years including 2x Shimano/Mavic combos (one with triple chainrings) & 2x all Campy sets, both with standard 39-53 double chainrings - all with downtube shifters up till now...
Here's what I'm left with at mo:
1. Modern Scirocco clinchers, 10-spd with both 12-25 & 13-29 options.
2. Vintage Shamal tubs, with 8-spd 11-23.
3. Veloce 10-spd Ergo shifters (not yet installed).
Clearly I'm expecting the Sciroccos to work with the shifters, but what I'd really like to do is get the Shamals running with the bigger cassette - but not sure if this is poss?
Not sure if the OLN is the same - it actually looks the same to the naked eye & a ruler but it's possible they may be a mm or even two different - but - the 10-spd cassettes are a different fit:
Different spline pattern & diameter.
(Can try & load some photos over weekend).
Do I have any easy options? Is there any way it's possible to switch the freehubs from one set of wheels to the other or get a freehub for Shamals that would take the other cassette?
I've searched archives & web generally for good answer. There was post on here couple of yrs ago http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=142311 that suggested freehub from mirage hub may fit & accept 9/10-spd (if I read it correctly) & I also noticed that Ambrosio Zenith hubs are the same 'bell' shape so wonder if that freehub might be interchangeable?
What about changing the centre of hub body / axel without having to undo all spokes?
It's not actually the '10-spd' I'm bothered about - it's really just the bigger rings to help with the hills(!) & went down this road as couldn't find suitable 7 or 8-spd cassette.
I'd be gutted to have to sell the Shamals though...
