10 speed vs 9 speed
i currently have a 9 sp campy drivetrain, looking at a new set of wheels(mavic with record 10 hub), would it work on my 9 sp? thanks

Bikes: One brand-less build-up, and a Connondale Synapse Carbon Ultegra Disc. A nicer bike than I need, but it was a good deal, so... ;-)

Also don't forget about the chain. In a Shimano drive train, you have to change to a 10 speed chain (narrower). A 9 speed chain absolutely will not work. That's another $35-$40.

The OP is not talking about converting to 10-speed, just asking if the 10-speed hub will work with a 9-speed cassette.
