1hill@aTime Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Strangest thing i never noticed, i'm running a campy groupo, cleaning my bike on sat, i noticed my cluster is HG shimano, I havent picked up any real problems with this, now my question is do i leave it, or get a campy cluster? i have ridden alot of kms like this!
Mudsimus Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Leave it. I've been riding like that for years.
ewep Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Muds, so I can ride my 12-27 Shimano on my Campy grouppo when doing the Panorama. Will the Campy Ultra Narrow g/set not give hassles?
lowracer Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 9 speed? I heard 10 speed is not compatible?
1hill@aTime Posted January 21, 2008 Author Posted January 21, 2008 that's what i was thinking, and the gr8 thing is i have another set of wheels at home with a 12/25 that i can use for hilly races, i have been pushing these hills with a 12/23 all the time

Also when I change to a shim wheel it works perfectly without any adjustments.
madmarc Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Shimano cluster with campy groupset???????? only the criminally insane would do that. I'm suprised the campy gruppo has not rejected you yet.
1hill@aTime Posted January 21, 2008 Author Posted January 21, 2008 yip and works like a charm, it's one of those things just leave it if it works, don't fiddle
lowracer Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 shimano wheels and cluster are cheaper to buy. if you want to change to a campag cluster, you have to buy a new wheel. the splines on campag and shimano is not the same, so you cannot just change the cluster. (which is why i bought 2 pairs of campag 10 speed wheelsets with clusters, when i got the chance) is the shimano clusters one piece? can you get a 10 speed spacer kit to use a shimano wheel, 10 speed shimano cluster on campag equiped bicycle?lowracer2008-01-21 03:40:47

You need to change that only, not the entire wheel.
Sammajoor Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 9 speed? I heard 10 speed is not compatible? had campy groupo with shimano cluster and chain, no problem. When changing to full campy ie cluster and chain i could not go to shimano casstte as the chain was not compatible.... My R0,02c worth
The Crazy German Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 9 speed? I heard 10 speed is not compatible? 10 speed does work ride cmpag gears and from time to time Shimano clusters
Clydee2000 Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Just to throw more confusion into the mix, you can always try a conversion cassette. American Classic makes a Shimano splined, Campag spaced cassette. This means you don't have to change your freehub body and you can run the rest of your kit Campag. Not sure if they are imported into SA, but you can get them from the States from the usual places fairly cheaply. I run an 11-23 on a set of Mavic ES and have no problems.
Pocketbikes Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 I have 10 spd HG with campy grp and works like a dream (I also wouldn't know better, still new at this) I can say that it changes gears perfectly and is smooth.
