campy 8,9,10s compatibility
I am ignorant of campy equipment. Are hubs either 8 speed compatible or 9/10
speed? None of the campy hubs are compatible with all three(8,9,10) are they? Thanx in advance, andy |

campy 8,9,10s compatibility
You need to read Sheldon's excellent article:
http://sheldonbrown.com/speeds.html With regard to Campy, he states: Campagnolo Cassette Systems Campagnolo 8-speed cassettes used a slightly different spline pattern from the current pattern used for 9-and 10-speed systems. 8-speed Campagnolo cassettes will not fit on newer "9-speed" and "10-speed" hubs. 9- and 10-speed Campagnolo cassetts will not fit on 8-speed hubs. It is theoretically possible to upgrade Campagnolo 8-speed hubs with newer cassette bodies, but in practice the parts don't generally seem to be available. |

Word of warning: 8sp sprockets do fit on 9/10sp hubs but the shallow spline tabs ruin the deep aluminium hub spline slots. (They're designed for steel freehubs, and the pattern is different as well, despite being physically compatible one-way). 9/10sp sprockets can be modified to fit 8sp hubs but it's a lot of work and the result isn't satisafactory either. There isn't room for 9 sprockets anyway. ~PB, done that, not doing it again. |

That is correct altho you can get a 8s system to work with a 9/10s hub using loose 9s cogs and 8s spacers. Thanx in advance, andy |

QBP has freehub bodies, 1997 9/10s ones that slide right onto Record and Chorus 8s hubs. |
