Shimano 10-speed Compatible Cassette on Campy Hub

I have a wheelset built on Campy 10/9 speed record hubs and would like
to be able to use it with my Shimano 10-speed bikes. I currently have a
9-speed record cassette on these wheels.

Does anyone know if anybody makes a cassette that would allow me to do
this? Is a Campy 10-speed cassette compatible with a Shimano 10-speed setup?

Thx,

1) You cannot use a Campy cassette on a Shimano freehub, because the
spline patterns are different.
2) I don't know if there are any Shimano-splined Campy cassettes; I do
know that several companies make the reverse: a Campy-compatible
casette designed for Shimano splines.
3) You can order a Shimano-splined freehub from Campy, swap the
freehubs on your wheel, and you're good to go.
4) Lastly, I have read on the Bicycling Maintenance forum that you can
actually get away using a Campy 10 cassette with a Shimano 10 set-up,
but I don't know anyone who has tried, and I suspect shifting
performance would degrade, but maybe another poster can confirm or deny
this one.

Yep, Campagnolo. The 10s spacing between the two is pretty dern close. If you
want exact and have a Campagnolo wheel that is 1998 or later, you can buy a
Campagnolo produced freeehub body that will bolt right on to your Campagnolo
hub that is shimano compatible.

Now you know two-Andy Muzi and me..shifting is just fine and dandy with mixing
and matching either way-

make that three ... Peter showed me how to set up my road bike with
an11-34 shimano cassette/wheel on a campy record 10 bike.. worked like
a charm. Did not change out any other parts except the wheel.

Agreed - haven't seen any problems, manufacturer's advice
notwithstanding.
