Campagnolo Khamsin freehub question.
Hello,
I run into trouble with my first vintage bike rebuild. I bought set of Khamsin wheels (80€),wich game with campagnolo freehub 11 speed.But I allready have shimano 2x8 Claris groupset. So after googeling I found out I could buy Campagnolo freehub body wich fits to Shimano cassette ,but it costs like 60€. Is there opinion to just replace whole freehub to shimano and just build rim around correct hub,since its 3-times cheaper option? Or can I mix my groupset by removing cogs from my cassette? Thank you for helping! |

Do you mean changing the whole hub? Changing a hub requires that you remove all the spokes and completely rebuild the wheel. I have done this, but I have built dozens of wheels. You might also have to buy all new spokes if the hub flanges are a different diameter. You also have to make sure that the new hub has the same number of spoke holes. This isn't a job for a beginner. That new free hub body might seem like a bargain if you have to change spokes as well. Asking a bike shop to change the hub would cost quite a bit more than a new free hub body

I wonder if you're going at this backwards.
You bought Khamsin wheels, with a freehub to accept Campagnolo 11s cassettes. Now you want to change to Shimano. So forget everything related to Campagnolo, and shop for a Khamsin freehub for Shimano cassettes. |

However, the OP was complaining about the price of a Shimano compatible free hub body in the first post
