Campy 9 speed wheelsets
Hello!
I have a few questions that hopefully the Campy Experts on these groups can help me out on: My winter training bike is a mid-90s CroMoly frame Bianchi I upgraded with Campy triple Racing T and newer Veloce 9 speed shifters. The cassette/rear hub is the original 8 speed and works OK with the 9 speed shifters, I just have that extra "click". My other bike (Kestrel Talon) also has Campy triple Racing T and Centaur 9 speed shifters and I hope to eventually get a pair of Zipp 404 carbon wheels to race with on this bike. Ultimately, I would like to have 9-speed cassettes on both wheelsets so that I could swap wheelsets between bikes. That's where my question comes in as far as advice on how to do this. The 8 speed gears on my current wheel has 8 notches to slide the gear onto the splines on the hub (I think it is called the EXA-Drive system). From pictures I have seen, it looks like newer 9 speed cassettes have a different spline pattern than the 8 speed. I can't tell from the photos whether these 9 speed cassettes would work on my 8 speed hub. Do I need to replace the 8 speed hub to work with all 9 speed cassettes? Are there different spline patterns between the different Campy 9 speed cassettes (e.g., Veloce and Chorus)? Zipp's website says that the 404 wheels are compatabile with all Campy 9 and 10 speed systems, so I definitely want to make sure I get the right cassette(s) to use on these wheels. The cassette I am seriously considering for its low range gearing is the Veloce 9 speed 13x28. Thanks in advance for your help and advice! Andrew Hall Lancaster, OH |
