Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

8 speed campy compability questions

I bought a used Kestrel 200 with campy chorus 8 speed, the former owner converted it from Shimano, for my wife.
Now Im looking for a cassettse and wheelset for the bike. Anybody out there that can help me sorting out the campy compability jungle for me and help me with the wheel problem.

I know the 9/10s hubs are different than the 8s for camp.

Yes I know that much but how is it within the different campy 8 speed groups? Can I use a record 8 speed cassette for example? What hubs to use on the wheels?

Campy 8 speed is compatible between gruppos.

Agree with Phil. Have a bike with Chorus hubs and Record cassette.

I'm running Record Titanium RD with Ergo shifters and a Shimano cassette hub with no problems whatsoever.
