here's the freehubs campag made over time:

you can swap the freehub body to a 9 speed (9 will accept 10 and 11, it's just named 9 because that was the highest tech at the time), but might have to change the axle too. the 8 speed exa looks very similar to the modern spline pattern, but don't be fooled: it will not take more than 8 sprockets. the newer freehub bodies have a different diameter axle, so you can only do the conversion with a 9 speed piece (usually they have "9 speed" written on them). they came on lower level hubs, so be on the lookout for a veloce hub from ~2000 and swap all the internals over

Anyone here ever change a freehub on these wheels to take a modern cassette? I've got a set of Zondas with the 8-speed freehub body that they came with and just assumed that was the most gears I'd get on it.
Actually looking closer at the pic I'm not even sure if that is a larger cassette, I just assumed because of the rear mech and cranks.
