Stuart Queripel Posted October 3, 2012 Share Please help... I purchased a set of Easton EA90 SL wheels off the hub. They came with a Campy Freebody. I am currently running an 10 speed Ultegra set up. What are my options here? Change the Campy Freebody to Shimano? Or do I just run a campy cassette on the Ultegra? Is that possible? What are the conversion costs? Please help...

Bianchi Posted October 3, 2012 Share Not much as from a suggestion or what is best, but my training training wheels are shimano wheels that I ran on my Campy groupo, and it works fine, had no slipping from the chain vs cluster, but it wasn't a perfect match. More to do with the shifting I think.No idea on the price though, although I did see one go for around R600 a while ago. Think it was on a Mavic wheelset. http://www.chainreac...x?ModelID=50422 This is what you're looking for... so say about R800 based on a quick calculation? Edit: Cassette Compatiblity: • Shimano: Fits Shimano 10 speed cassettes only • Campagnolo: All 9/10/11 Campagnolo • Sram: Sram 8/9/10 and Shimano 8/9/10 You try fitting a Shimano cluster? The one in the link fits all of the above. Edited October 3, 2012 by Bianchi Stuart Queripel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JA-Q001 Posted October 4, 2012 Share If you have a Campy cassette already, just use it as is. If your mechanic knows what he is doing, there should be no problem. If you do not have a Campy cassette, then just buy the freebody, it will be cheaper that a new Campy cassette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted October 4, 2012 Share Setting up a Campag cassette with Shimano and visa versa is a bitch. As mentioned above, the mechanic must know what he is doing. I tried it myself, I got the shifting to work perfectly on the bike stand, the moment I rode it, it was terrible. I would buy the proper free hub and get it done properly from the word go.

Stuart Queripel Posted October 4, 2012 Share Sourcing the Shimano Freehub locally is proving to be an issue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerr Posted October 4, 2012 Share Maybe try Omnico direct, they are the SA agents. If not, Wiggle list the R4 model (not sure if that is right for yours): http://www.wiggle.co.uk/wheel-components/?s=easton+freehub Probably won't work out any more expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
