Honestly, I'd just find a new hub/wheelset... either Campy 9/10/11 or Shimano 11 compatible would work with the respective 11speed cassette.
I assume that if I preferred, a skilled wheel-builder could buy new spokes and a compatible hub and build a new wheel (saving only the rim). I'm not sure that there is a reason to do that, but I assume that is possible - that right?
I guess that this would be an interesting learning project for me if I wanted to build that skill. I do build my own golf clubs (where 'the ramifications of doing it poorly are less obvious and the basic craft of assembly is pretty simple).
And I am assuming from all that I have read that it is very easy to make either a Shimano or Campy 11sp cassette work in my setup. My best guess is that moving between them regularly is potentially an issue (constant rear derailleur adjustments when changing wheels). I'd be interested in more informed than my own opinions on this.
Thanks.
