I have 1995 Chorus hubs and was able to upgrade them to 10sp a few years ago by getting a Record 9sp freehub body from Branford Bikes. It took about 10 minutes for each hub and I did 2 rear hubs. It cost about $75 for each freehub body. |

Once upon a time, all 8s Campagnolo hubs could be upgraded to 9/10s with an appropriate freehub body. Record and Chorus, Athena and below, since they use different axles. Chorus freehub bodies are still available, and if the hub is Record or Chorus, it can get a new freehub body. The lower end ones are pretty much nonexistent now. 1997 was the first year of 9s for Campagnolo, I suspect if the system is 8s, you have Athena or below hubs..that may be diffucult. |
