Shim/Campy
Can i mix a 9 speed campy group set and shim cassette/wheels.If so what is best way.?ad

Re: Shim/Campy
Campag cassettes have a different cog spacing to Shimano. Your options to get round this are as follows:
1) There are various campag/shimano combinations that do actually work. To find out which ones, google "Shimergo".
2) Ambrosio make conversion cassettes that have a Shimano spline but a Campag spacing (and vice versa). However, I used one of these and it was a bit agricultural, I'd use one on a hack or a winter bike but nothing better than that.
3) If you can get them, your best option is to buy a campag freehub for your wheel and fit a normal campag-compatible cassette.
Hope that helps!
