I just bought a new bike, without wheels, and want to use my old Shimano RS10 wheelset on the bike. Campagnolo groupo means new freebody, and being 11spd would have meant a new Shimano freebody - either way, it's now about which works out cheaper.

 

QUestion is, where can I find a freebody for a Campagnolo cassette with the flower type formation of a Shimano freebody, which is 11spd compatible?

Sell the RS10's and buy the correct wheels. I would think that It's certainly simpler getting Campy wheels with Shimano hubs, than the other way round.

I think the shimano RS10 wheels are not built to be 11 speed so they not gonna work. You can put a 11speed campy cassette on a 10 speed campy freebody without re-dishing the wheel which is an option for a wheel which has a shimano freebody for which you can get campy freebody.

 

There is also cross-compatability between sram/campy/shimano cassettes on the back wheel irrespective of which of the 3 groupsets shifters, RD etc you are using.( check Lennard Zinn on velonews)

 

Mavic 10 speed wheels easily take a 11speed cassette since they always had an extra spacer on the freebody. i just did this.

 

You could for example just take a 10speed shimano set of mavics and pop a 11 speed sram or shimano cassette on it and run it with you campy.

Thanks guys. The only person who remotely answered my question is Longbarn Killer.

 

I have a 10spd wheelset - I have an 11spd Campy Cassette; so all I need is the freebody... but it seems no one knows if it is even manufactured...

Easiest option is dump the wheels and get a wheelset with Campy freehub. CWC has some new Fulcrum 5's and 7's for under 3500. They can supply a Campy freehub. As mentioned, noce thing about Campy is that it uses same freehub for 10 and 11 speed.
