  • Hi guys,

    I've just bought a wheel set with 8 speed Campag and don't have the 8 speed shifters. I have 9 speed Campag shifters and wondering if I use 9 speed spacers with the 8 speed sprockets will I have many luck in getting it to shift nicely?

    I would have to use 8 spd chain but my derailleur is 9 spd also, so maybe that's an issue.

    Should I just get rid of the wheels and start again?

    Thanks

  • Found some discussions online:

    If the hub is that early, and has a 10mm in diameter axle rather than
    12, no go. If it has a 12mm axle, then yes, however, and BIG however,
    those 9/10s FH bodies were only made in 1997/8, so they are scarce. In
    1998/9, all the hubs went to the oversized aluminum axle type FH and
    those will not work in that hub.

    So if you are lucky to have the more recent 8speed hub with a 12mm axle, you can change the freehub body for a 9speed one.
    Still, good luck to find a spare!
