8 speed cassette>>>>
Hello all,
would like some advice please.....i am considering CS837 or CS826 8 speed cassette from harris cyclery - question is will the wheels manufacturing spacer kit (to convert to campagnolo spacing) work with these cassettes? or are some of the sproketts on a carrier? anyone have any idea?
cassettes are here:

Or ask via the links/email addresses on their site. They responded within a day when I asked for advice on a specific crank... Plus now, I have had the thrill of receiving an email directly from Sheldon Brown.

Shimano and Campagnolo 9-speed spacing is close enough to be interchangeable in practice, unlike the 8-speed stuff.
