3-Can you lace a 36h front hub to a 28-hole rim and live to tell about it?
7 speed cassette Campagnolo... I have always seen 8 as the first hubs to use a freehub/cassette. There are two versions of the 8 speed splines, one is for the steel cogs and another for the ti cogs, deeper grooves and uses an alloy body. Pretty sure it used the term EXA on the boxes, but who has those? Well, a few do. What level of Campagnolo hub is it? Always a chance they kept the tiers different at the beginning.
36 has 18 per side, 28 has 14... 3x6 or 2x9 and 2x7 I don't think it would be pretty or strong
