My initial guess is no. But I'll move this over to a subforum where you'll get a more definitive answer for you.

I guess it's going to be no, though. :(

the cog spacing is differant between 9 speed and 8 speed. some of the gears might work just about, but, you'll never get it perfect

New Campag 9 should work with shimano 8 using Hubbub attachment;http://www.ctc.org.uk/DesktopDefault.aspx?TabID=3946
