RB52 Rear hub

I have a set of Xero wheels with an RB52 rear hub wth a shimano freehub. I think Formula makes this hub and am curious if they make a Campy freehub that can be switched out.

Anyone know if these are available?

Don't know the wheels well enough to say of they make another freehub body, but American Classic makes Shimano splined cassettes that are spaced for Campy. They are also lower in price than Campy cassettes.

Yea, that or jtek are alternatives. I'd rather not go the aftermarket compromise route if I don't have too.

It may be easier to just do a Veloce free hub switch out on a set of Chorus 8 speed wheels. I'd rather do the cheaper wheels if possible since it wouldn't take a Campy hub body.
