Thanks 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. --Paul |

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! Chris Chris'Z Corner "The Website for the Common Bicyclist": http://www.geocities.com/czcorner |

shimano wheelset with campy 10 drivetrain
brad- I am looking for advice on running my shimano wheelset with my campy 10
speed drivetrain. What is the best way to accomplish this. BRBR 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..

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? |
