It's really easy - lighten your wallet, buy a conversion cassette.
The one from American Classic is a little cheaper than the one from
Wheels Mfg. Wheels offers a 12-27 and I believe American Classic
does not. Use a 10-speed chain. I am happy with the Wipperman
nickel chain (cost $30) and would not waste the money on stainless
(at least not in my riding conditions). Most bike shops should be
able to order this stuff for you. Excel Sports also carries that
chain and both brands of conversion cassette.

There are a number of conversion cassettes available from different
manufacturers, American Classic for one.

Best wishes,

Wait untill Shimano comes out with their own 10 rear. Then you can pick
and choose.

May you have the wind at your back.
And a really low gear for the hills!

I was going to suggest Wheels Mfg., but they specifically say the
Shimano wheels are not compatible:

My experience is that the Wheels Manufacturing 'Accelerator' cogset works the
best...In about 3 months, you can use a DA 10s cogset and chain but they are
gonna be pricey..

Wheels ones all start with an 11t...

As do many bike shops, like us....

porter- You could use a Mavic M10 cassette. BRBR

shimano freehub isn't tall enough for all 10 cogs tho..can get only 9 of the 10
on there.. Mavic freehubs are taller...

I guess another option is to modify your levers back to 9sp but my guess is
that you don't want to do that! ;-) BRBR


You can use Campagnolo 10s shifters with a shimano 9s casette...

You can do a search for my name (seiferth) and "hubbub" or "ultegra"
and you'll see my tale. It's a happy one. You can run a 9spd shimano
drivetrain or just use a shimano 9 cassette with your campy 10
drivetrain. Either ways works great. If latter just set upper
lockscrew so you don't run the chain into your spokes on gear "10". I
have no shifting problems whatever with a Centaur 10 rder, Ultegra
triple front, 9spd 105 13-25 cassette, Ultegra triple chainring,
Record 10 Ergo and SRAM pc-59 chain. Can it get more diverse? I do
have to keep the chain very clean or shifting becomes less than crisp
but no problem with speed or precision. Far better than Ultegra or
Tiara triple on friend's bikes esp up front. I have a second set of
wheels with a 12-25 American Classics cassette I got from Alfred E
Bikes for about $65. I aim to try this soon as the 105 cassette wears
out which it gives no sign of doing.

If your bicycle is already adjusted properly for a 10 sp Campy
cassette, increase the tension by backing out the adjustment screw 1½
turns and turn the stop for the big ring in one turn clockwise. Go
ride your 9sp Shimano wheel.

I'd recommend a Shimano HG 9 chain if you are going to run 9 and 10
speed cassettes. If you are going to run 9sp only, the Sram 59 chain
works very well.

But does this mean you must use a Campagnolo rear derailleur also or will
the Campy 10s shifter work with my Dura Ace 9s rear der. and 9s cassette?
