shimano to campy wheel question

aggie-<< would really like
to build the bike with campy stuff (chorus and centaur mix). one of my
issues is that i've already got a shimano bike with an extra set of
shimano compatable wheels. I've got a set of ksyriums and a set of
cosmos. what i want to know is if it is possible to just replace the
part of the rear hub that the cassette goes onto (i'm not sure what
this is called, maybe the freehub body?) >><BR><BR>

Yes to Ksyriums if a later version, no for the cosmos or older set of ksyriums.

BUT just get the Campagnolo stuff, and then use a shimano or American classic 9
or 10s cogset and shimano chain and go ride. Completely comptible with
campagnolo ERGO and rear der.

work with a campy cassette.

The Campy 10 Ergo will shift a Shimano 9 or 10 sp cassette fine.
American Classic, IRD, and others make 10 sp cassettes that are
Shimano splined and Campy 10 compatible.

would the part be interchangable between the ksyriums and the cosmos,
so that i could decide which wheel i wanted to use with the campy
bike? Thanks in advance and hopefully that wasn't to confusing.

Check the shiftmate out. You can use the shimano wheels with all campy
components. Or, you can use just the levers with a shimano rear
derailleur. It will let you mix and match. Nice thing about Shimano is
the selection of cassettes, and the price of cassettes is cheap compared
to Campy. 🙁

Peter,
thanks, this was something i was thinking of doing, my only thought
was that things might not shift as well. Anyway do i have to use a
shimano chain, or can i use something different like a wipperman
chain, and i guess if i'm using 10 speed stuff i should use a 10 speed
chain, so either dura ace or wippermann. The only thing i really like
is the connex quick link for cleaning purposes so i can put that on
the shimano chain if that would work better.

Use a Wipperman/Mavic 10s chain for any 10s system.

Veloce 10s cogsets are WAY cheaper than DA 10s cogsets and go up to a 13-29.
