American Classic Conversion Cassette

[Jimp]

I am in the process of switching my bike from Shimano to Campagnolo components and while doing so,
decided to use my existing wheels for now to save some money. I purchased an American Classic
conversion cassette (10 speed) to fit my existing Ultegra hub. The problem that I am having is
getting the shifting dialed in. When I get smooth, quiet shifting on the small end, the largest two
cogs are noisy, and when I get the largest two quiet, the reverse happens. Does anyone have any
experience with this cogset... Any better luck with the Wheels Manufacturing solution? Thanks for
any help!!

I have an American Classic 10 sp conversion cassette and it works fine. The chain is an IRD and was
necessary. It is necessary to have the shift from the end cog to the next to be a little sluggish on
the stand but it works fine on the road. I compared to a Chorus 10 sp cassette and it is close.
