Happy holidays everyone!
I have a compatibility question. I recently bought new carbon clinchers for my Madone, which leaves me with a decent set of Bontrager XL Lites hanging in the garage... right next to a my old Tomassini from my 80's race days. You know where this is going- right ? The Tomassini is all Campy SR with Mavic MP4 tubulars and a Campy 7 speed rear hub/ cassette. Here's the question(s)
1) Will a Shimano 7 speed hyperglide cassette fit on that Bontrager rear wheel/ free hub?
a) Will the cassette be compatible with the modern spline design, and
b) will the spacing be correct? (The Bontrager/ Shimano free hub carried a new Dura-Ace 10 speed cassette.)
2) Will the old chain (which is in great shape) be compatible with the drive exchange between the front Campy SR chainring and the NEW Shimano cassette?
My goal here is to get the hassle free clincher wheels on this Italian Stallion and show it off every so often
I realize I could just run tubulars, but don't want to deal with the hassle and the cost. I can pick up the Hyperglide for $25-$35 off Ebay
THANKS FOR ANY AND ALL HELP!!!
