Default Ritchey Freehub / Campy/Shim cassette mount question

It's probably Shimano. If you have Campy 9-speed, the Shimano cogs work
just fine with Shimano cogs.

I know next to nothing about freehubs... so I have a basic question.

I have a Ritchey Zero rear hub. Will it accept either a Campy or a
Shimano spec cassette ? I understand that there is a difference in
spacing of the sprockets in terms of indexing... is there an overall
difference in thickness that would make this either a Shimano *or* a
Campy freehub setup, but not both?

There does not appear to be a way to adjust the spacing in the
traditional way of just adding or removing washers from the axle on
this hub (but again, I am clueless on newer stuff). So I am wondering
how universal this freehub is.

Thanks,

Richard: Could you restate that ?

If I may, I think he means that despite the small difference in cog
spacing, a Shimano 9-speed cassette wil work with 9-speed Campy shifters
and derailleurs.

Hank bailed me out...

The 9-speed Shimano cogs work just fine with Campy shifters & derailleurs.
