Spirog Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 So, I ride a Bianchi with Campy 10 speed Record and Campagnolo Zendo wheels. I'm probably going to buy a second hand Bianchi that has Shimano Ultegra Electronic components and Shimano wheels. I understand, that if they're both 10 speed, I can just switch the wheels over and have the pleasure of my Zondas, but a bastardized group-set - not so cool. But, as I understand, I can't just change the cassette from the Shimanos to the Zondas as the free hub is different. Is my understanding correct? Can one just get the free hub changed, or is it a completely different wheel construction.
Cippo Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 It is considered sacreligious to run Campy wheels with Shimano components. Nonetheless there are Shimano freehubs for the Campagnola wheels. You could 'possibly' get away with running a Campy 10spd cassette with the Shimano setup but it may not run perfectly.

Broker Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Your Campag 10 spd wheel will work perfectly with the 10spd Shimano. In most cases you can change the Freehub from Shimano to Campag or Campag to Shimano. You cannot just change the cassette. Good luck with the Ultegra DI2 if you're half as happy as I am with it you will enjoy, its a fantastic groupset and I will never change. Maybe upgrade
Madlight Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 You can get a different freehub that will sort you out. It adds a couple of grams to the setup, but works like a bomb.

Loose cog Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 That Record groupset is really cr*p. I will take it off your hands and save you having to place it in your green wheelie bin!
