I play musical drive chains including hubs. I don't typically go and sell what I don't use. I really, really need to.
At this point what I want is usually one part short of a complete happy meal.
I want, without good reason, to convert the Litespeed to 10 speed from 9. What is holding me up is a better hub and 10 speed Ergos.
I did an 8 speed DA to 9 speed Campagnolo and learned a great deal because of ignorance on spindle lengths between 2 and 3 rings, not having experience with cartridge BB and really knowing the difference between double and triple FD's. Also learned how to convert FD's from clamp to braze-on. In the process I now have a few extra parts for future builds.
Also learned how to rebuild Ergo's and difference between them.
