Wow, my LBS is awesome, and a Campy Eurus question
I went into my lbs today to talk to the owner about a crit the team might like to do, and we got talking about wheelsets. I told him I'm interested in a set of Campy Eurus, and he asked me what price I found online. When he saw he couldn't match the price, he told me to buy them online instead of from him. He then told me to be careful that it isn't NOS and that it really is as advertised, but that it's an awesome deal and he understands why I'd take the deal over what he could offer me. How cool is that?
And, the question: Will a SRAM cassette fit on a record hub?

Why would you want a Scram - to save some $$? Get a Campy cogset and be happy; it'll shift better than the Scram.

can't you get the Eurus with a shimano-splined freehub body?
if so your SRAM will slide right on.

They're great wheels, you won't be disappointed. Hope you haven't lost too much upper body strength though - you'll need it to get the tyres on

Yes, the Eurus is available in both campy and shimano splined... so just get the shimano splined and you'll be good to go.

Anyone have experience dealing with Eurobikeparts.com? Do they really honor their price match policy? And do they figure in shipping costs from other websites when price matching?
