Ok I know it was a bit compulsive but I bought a used rear wheel and failed to inspect it closer as I did later at home. :mad:
It turns out it’s a campy 10 spd and my setup is 9 spd shimano, what are my chances of just swapping a shimano cassette and run with it? Is this even possible? Something makes me think is very likely that campy hub’s splines have different spacing than shimanos.
So am I out of luck here? TIA
go check out wheelsmanufacturing website.....they have a conversion(spacer kit) IIRC..
I had a campy rear wheel that I used with a shimano 9 speed drivetrain..
use3d the conversion kit and no problems whatsoever

Will check that out.
If it's too much trouble I'll just put it up for resale at Craigslist.
Thanks.

You could use a Campy 9-speed cassette since Campy 10-speed hubs also take their 9-speed cassettes. The shifting may be adequate as-is or you could get the appropriate Jtek Shiftmate to make them completely compatible.

+1. This is probably the fastest, simpliest solution.
What kind of wheel is it? You can also buy Campagnolo freehub bodies that are designed for Shimano 8/9 and swap it out. It's a 5 minute job. This would allow you to use any Shimano 8/9 cassette you wanted.
