I just picked up a used pair of Velomax Tempest wheels for my 20+ year old Davidson. I was only looking for a front wheel, but I got the pair for a good price. I also wasn't expecting the rear to fit the dropouts, as the bike is old, with a six cog freewheel on it. I thought the spacing had changed since then.

But anyway, the wheel does fit the dropouts, but now I need a cogset that will be compatible with the old Campy NR freewheel, and a second bike with a Campy SR, which I would also like to use. These are the old, non-indexed type of derailleurs, with friction down-tube shifters. I'm not looking for 10 speeds or anything fancy, just something that might work. Are the new freehubs compatible with both Campy and Shimano, or is it one or the other? Are the new cogs still usable with the old stuff, maybe with a new chain?

I also found out that the stems on the tubes need to be longer, but I guess you already knew that. That I can handle myself.
