What are my options? Can I put a "hybrid" cluster on, or do I need to buy a new Zipp body? Anything else (cheaper options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcyclist Posted May 2, 2006 Share Use 9 speed campy gears but with shimano spacers...? Might not work out cheaper though. Those hybrid clusters are around $80 USD last time I looked smileys/smiley5.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man with no name Posted May 2, 2006 Share Haha KayC!!I am already flat after the wheels, can't spend another R 4500 on Campy when you can just spend R 1000 on a Shimano conversionsmileys/smiley7.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruxpearl Posted May 2, 2006 Share You can get a Shimano Spaced Cassette that fit's on a Campag Body for about 750 bucks!!! a lot cheaper than going the whole hog to change everything to Shimano.What Cassette does it have on at the moment?

Man with no name Posted May 5, 2006 Share Crux, do you have an idea what this product is called? Similar to the Miche clusters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusTi Posted May 11, 2006 Share Buy a new Zipp body, in the long run it'll work out cheaper, Shimano cassettes are pretty cheap compared to the equivalent Campy. And in the future if you really want to upgrade to Campy you have the freewheel body, just remember that the dishing of the wheel will probably need to be adjusted.

Man with no name Posted May 14, 2006 Share Problem sorted. Thanks to my good mate Psycho smileys/smiley32.gif, who happen to have a Shimano body needing a Campy body, we did the swap at Cycletech. Thought it would be easy but even that proved to be a complex matter. End of the day all worked out and now my wheels are spiffy, with a Shimano body and brand new Shimano cluster - the way its intended to beThanks to all for their good advice, if nothing else, that's the biggest advantage of this forum. smileys/smiley17.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
