Hey, its a campagnolo ultra-drive 8 speed, made out of aluminium so contemporary versions are too narrow.
From what i understand, you cant find a conversion kit for these, unless i file down a contemporary campy freehub sprocket? but then it will just dig into the aluminium right?
i really dont want to build this wheel up from a new hub nor sell it on. is there anything else i can do?
