Converting 9/10/11 Speed Campy to SRAM 10 Speed?
I could get some newer Campy Eurus clincher wheels for a good price but it has a campy 9/10/11 speed freehub body. Do I just buy a Shim/SRAM freehub body or spacer and stick my SRAM Force on it? I'm new to campy stuff.

I'm not familiar with Campy either, so the following are just guesses. But hopefully my post will bump this so the more knowledgeable people will see it.
I believe Campy and Shimano/SRAM use completely different spline patterns. Unless you're able to take off the Campy freehub body and replace it with a Shimano compatible unit, I believe you're out of luck.

As per Fastjake, its the different splines pattern which will prevent you using the Campagnolo wheel (rear only) with a SRAM/Shimano setup.
There are some wheels which you can swap the freehub body on, Fulcrum for example, but not Campagnolo.
Don't buy these unless you want to get a full Campagnolo 10 / 11 speed groupset to go with them; unless you just need the front.
Getting rid of the wheels will be the much cheaper option

fulcrum IS campagnolo. the same freehub body that you would use to switch a fulcrum wheel will convert a campagnolo wheel.
i have seen several people using campy wheels with shimano. eurus wheels are very sweet fast training/racing wheels (i have a set). if you decide you dont want them, i would be interested.
https://www.campagnolo.com/jsp/en/corporate/index.jsp
from campagnolo's site:
"In March 2003, Campagnolo S.r.l. established Campagnolo Sportswear S.r.l. which produces and distributes Campagnolo-branded technical garments for cycling. In July 2004, Campagnolo S.r.l. founded Fulcrum Wheels S.r.l. which initially completed the range of high-end Campagnolo wheels in the racing bike sector and later expanded, this year, to the Mountain Bike sector with a full range of high-performance wheels."

In the same way that PRO and Pearl Izumi are Shimano; they are but the parent companies don't shout it to keep them seperate.
The Fulcrum brand has been kept seperate so they have access to the market of people using Shimano hubs & don't or won't use Campagnolo. If that freehub fits the Ernus wheel, great, it should be a simple swap, like the Fulcrum freehubs are

it will fit. campagnolo and fulcrum parts all use the same technology and are compatible. the freehub in question wears a campagnolo part number and is branded as such.
from campy's FAQ:
6. Are Campagnolo wheels compatible with both Shimano and SRAM?
Yes. Campagnolo wheels are compatible with both Shimano and SRAM components. To use Campagnolo wheels with any drivetrain on the market, Campagnolo produces two types of freewheel body: a specific one for Campagnolo drivetrains (from 9- to 11-speed) and one for non-Campagnolo drivetrains (from 8- to 10-speed).

pearl izumi is a little different. this was a preexisting company with existing assets that was purchased by shimano.
from shimano:
Pfeiffer also noted that Pearl Izumi would be maintained as a stand-alone company with its own management team.
“Pearl Izumi is a leader in the performance sports apparel and footwear market, and we plan to keep them in that position,”
Pfeiffer notes the purchase does not include sales and distribution rights of Pearl Izumi branded products in Japan and most of Asia.

PRO is listed as a dutch company. this would leave me to believe it was also an acquisition.
Their corporate headquarters says shimano and so does their website so this relationship is a little more "public" than the pearl izumi one.
