shimano shifter/derailer and campy casset?
is it possible/hard to have shimano derailer and shifters and a campy cassett. i've got 10spd ultegra and somone just offered me a set of kick ass carbon wheels at a low low price BUT they're made for campy.
maybe i can change the gub? that can't be easy though.
thanks in advance for your advice

Campy cogs are spaced differently, The short answer is 'well, not really.'

Figure out the hub manufacturer and switch out the free hub body with the correct one. The Park website has a pretty quick but informative overlook in the hub section. It's more expensive than a shift buddy, but it's doing it up right.

The best way is to switch out the freehub body but that might not always be possible so you may want to consider using a Marchisio cassette/cogset. This way you can simply build up your ratios the way you want by hand-picking the cogs and matching them to the appropriate spline-adapter for your freehub and then selecting the appropriate spacers as befits your indexing.
