Power-Tap Pro...Campy 10-spd Compatible?

Power Tap sell a Campy adaptor so that the freehub (which is Shimano) will work with Campy. I run 9-speed so i've not personally tried it yet, but the people i coach who run 10-speed say the adaptor is good. with 9-speed a standard shimano cassette works fine with Campy equipment.

As it transpires, i have all the power meter units... primarily, this is because i'm involved in writing research examining the accuracy and validity of all the power meters. currently, i recommend the SRM and the Power Tap, each of these units has advantages and disadvantages. additionally, i sell PTs.
The reason i *currently* don't recommend the other units is because i have not yet finished testing them, and thus can't comment on the usefulness.
on a personal level, if i only had one unit, it *would* be a PT. The reason for this is, because it is accurate and reliable, plus it's very easy to move from bike to bike (useful to move from say training to racing bike, or between different people if you're testing them).
additionally, the PT is probably the easiest one to use.

I have used my powertap with a Wheels Manufacturing 10-soeed conversion cassette for around 18 months now. I have had no issue running this wheel on two different bikes built with 10-speed components ('01 Record and "04 Chorus).
The biggest issue when setting up the conversion cassette is spacing the cogset on the freehub correctly so that the smallest cog has enough engagement on the freehub (and doesn't spin under load).
I believe the Powertap conversion cassette is an American Classic part

I used the Ultegra based 10-speed conversion cassette (see the link below).

erm... right... maybe i answered (the adaptor bit) first thing in the morning before espresso, or maybe i'd just got in from training... my bad. i was talking about a cassette, i'm pretty sure PT sell a Wheels Mfg one.
sorry about that

I've used this solution for the past 3 years and haven't had any issues.
The only thing you have to be careful of with the Wheels Mfg. cassette it to space it properly (spacers supplied with the cassette) on the freehub to avoid any chain interference with the wheel or frame.
