Ambrosio conversion cassettes

Posted on
  • Have just bought a TT bike with campag record 10s on it, unfortunately most of my wheels are shimano/sram and take 11s cassettes. Does anyone have any experience with the shimano spline / campag spaced ambrosio cassettes? Any good or should I swap the gruppo? Cheers!

  • you could fit a miche 10 speed shimano cassette with miche 10 speed spacers from a campag cassette. I think that would work. May require some thin spacers behind the cassette to fill a gap.

  • Cheers - I will look into it

  • i think the deal is if you wanna USE campagnolo or shimano. a half solution with an adapter is a half solution. ild either sell a wheelset and buy campag or sell groupset and buy shimano.

  • but they do work though, those miche and ambrosio things. not too expensive either.

  • Cheers Rodolfo - I've decided I will remove the campagnolo record groupset and fit it with new ultegra 11s as all my wheels/cassettes are shimano!
    If it was for winter hack I wouldn't mind too much but as its a TT bike I want everything running aswell as possible!

  • Now to get a decent price for campag record on lfgss....

  • if its the double front it might fetch a good price. my vgc triple chorus/record gruppo took a while to sell.

    why not just not 105 btw? not 11s?

  • Yeah yeah double front carbon/ti I think

  • Yeah though about 105 but for the extra 30/40 pound I thought ultegra would be worth it. I've collected an ultegra tt set up (minus brakes) for around 240 so I've done it on a pretty tight budget so far

  • I had one-heavy as shit and didn't last very long but worked. I really don't think you'll notice much issue using a shimano 10spd, if you do I'd be more inlined to get a Jtek shiftmate or something if you're riding a lot and going to be spunking on £35 quid conversion cassettes fairly regularly.

  • you could also find an 11s TT shifter and rear derailleur and just use the rest of the original group.

  • Thanks for advice guys. Have built up the cervelo now with 6800. All good.
