Wheels Mfg campagnolo 8 speed spacer kit

Looking for the spacers to use 8 cogs on a 9/10 speed hub, anyone have a set ? Cheers

BS. Just mount the 8speed cassette onto the FH body with a spacer behind the cassette, use the 10 speed lockring AND TIGHTEN IT LIKE HELL. 50nm torque.

It won't bite into the FH body splines even after 2-3 years of use :) :)
btw, those spacers can be manufactured for 1-1.5 bucks, basically a bunch of plastic rings in the appropriate width.

alternatively, use 9speed sprockets with 8spd spacers. the spacing won't be perfect, but will be close enough to work quietly and smoothly. :)

thanks @Halbert , I know this has been discussed a lot on the forums, not sure I want to risk wrecking my freehub though. Looks like nowhere stocks these kits anymore. I have 8 speed spacers so may give that a go with the 9 speed sprockets

:) Do you know anyone who can manufacture those?

a friend of mine actually custom-made some spacers in 3.25mm thickness with 36mm internal width .. I believe those are the necessary dimensions, and you'd also need a spacer behind the cassette& a 0.45 mm spacer for the smallest cog which has "built-in" spacer.

costs about 0.99bucks to manufacture this kit from plastic..

I don't know anyone unfortunately, or any places would do it that cheap for just one set. I did try 3d printing some but couldn't get the tolerance that low. I think they would have to be injection moulded or machined. If you can find out how your friend got them made I'd be interested to hear / buy a few sets!

He works in some place where they cnc machine and manufacture small electronic accessoires. When he custom made those for me, I ended up not needing them, so he threw them into the recycle bin after a few months. :(

I can probably ask him again, but postage to the UK would be a bit costy.

Don't want to sell it, but I do have one of these kits. What you get is a set of metal spacers, and about 10 slivery spacers to space out the smallest cog, and to use for whatever else. It does work great.

@Halbert out of interest what spacer do you put behind the 8 speed cassette ? 8, 9, or 10 speed spacer ? Cheers

Hello

I unfortunately did not measure the exact thickness, but it's black coloured (8spd?)

I guess anything which adds enough stack to the cassette width to ensure it's secured without wobbling should do the trick :)

Great thanks , and you had no issue with the exadrive cassette biting into the 9/10 freehub providing it was torqued enough ?

Ok I've just mounted the 8 speed cassette with 8 speed spacers on a 9/10 speed hubs and it clears the end of the freehub without any extra spacers behind it . Have torqued down the lockring and its all secure . Aside from the supposed risk to the freehub splines it all seems fine , am I missing something ?....
