Need some quick help please...Fulcrum wheels

I've just received some Fulcrum 1's and want to put my Dura Ace cassette on but when I tried to put the lock ring on it was too big. The inside diameter of the freewheel body is much smaller than the 10 speed Shimano lockring. I'm searching Fulcrum's site right now for info on compatability. If anyone has run into this problem please let me know what you found.

Thanks,
Mike

FYI...if you're using Shimano with an 11 tooth cog you need a Camply 11 tooth lock ring. 12 teeth and you need a Campy 12 tooth lock ring. I'm good to go now.

First, is the freehub a Shimano compatible one? Fulcrum makes their wheel in both Campy and Shimano format. Second, Campy wheels and hubs all include the lockring so Campy cassettes (except for 11T) don't come with one. Maybe the lockring should have come with your wheels since Fulcrum is Campy's second-channel.

Is the freehub body aluminium? That would be the HG10. That comes with it's own (Campagnolo) lockring.

There is also the new HG 8/9/10 which comes in steel and uses a Shimano lockring.

I think that if you buy the wheels from a shop you get the Campy lock ring in the package but I got mine from EBay ($500 for Racing 1's, thank you very much) so I didn't get one. I called a couple of shops, found one that had the lock ring I needed and now I'm good to go. They look hot on my bike!
