Campy 10 to 8?
On Shimano stuff, I was able to use seven speed cassettes on current freehubs just by adding a single spacer on the inner part of the freehub. Is the same thing possible with Campy freehubs? Specifically, can I stick a single spacer on the inside of a 9/10 Campy freehub and then use an eight speed cassette? Thanks!
PS: When I googled, I found someone selling a kit for this, but it was for re-spacing a nine speed cassette less one of the cogs for eight speed use. Seemed not worth the effort...
