Hello,
I'm curious how road wheels can be "fully compatible with either Shimano
10 speed or Campagnolo 9/10 speed drive trains."
such as the marketing of the Xero XLR-1 claims. Wouldn't it have to be
provided with two freehub bodies to make this so? I can't find much
information on their site that explains this.

The velomax.co.uk in regards to the wheels in question states clearly:
"Campag or Shimano versions available "
So it's either - or.

cheers,

Tomek Li

Hmmm, I see. it's all in how you read it, apparently I was upside down.
I suspect the hub itself is moderately easily swappable with the desired
freehub body (of course having the tools and freehub), but it's not
"user convertible".

thanks, this makes much more sense then.

I had a set of Velomax wheels that come with both freehub bodies and
instructions on how to change them out.

Sure its user convertible. Just change the freehub body. Probably
like Shimano it takes a 10mm Allen wrench to unscrew the freehub body
from the hub shell. Or maybe like Campagnolo you unscrew the 5mm end
caps and locknut to pull the freehub body off. Simple to take the
freehub body off of a hub.

Campag...5mm allen to hold axle secure, 17mm open end wrench to loosen
lock nut on drive side..left threaded, so righty-loosey, then the
freehub body slides off. Removable 5mm end cap on left side of the
rear hub only, samo for front.
