If if were the French, I'd understand.
Or, is the freehub a different length Shimano vs. Camp?
And finally, if I need compatibility, can I modify my Chorus Ergos from 9 to 8?
From what I understand, yes. There's a part at the back of the body that pops out that contains the indexing unit (think Campy Synchro inserts, only different). Replace the one from your 9 with one from an 8. My brother switched all of his 8s to 9s about a year or so ago. I can check with him & see if he still has the 8s inserts lying around.
