Hey, anyone out there have any success with changing a 10 speed campy hub to work with an older 8 speed shimano bike? I am trying to lighten up my wife's bike (25 lbs!!) and I'd love to give her my hand built campy wheels for use on her 8 speed shimano bike. Most of the campy cogs are separate so I know I can get new spacers to respace to shimano. However, using 8 of the separate 10 speed cogs (which are thinner than the 8speeds) and then using shimano spacers may not not work if the 10 speed hub is too wide. I'm just not sure right now. I don't want to buy spacers only to realize that I need another odd sized spacer. Online I see tons of info for using campy shifters and shimano parts or going from 8 speed to 9 or ten, but no info for what I'm trying to do. Obviously I have the wheels and the cogset, so I'm trying not to spend a bunch of money in upgrading her bike.
any thoughts? Wheels manufactering, jtek engineering and american classic don't really address this.
thanks!!
