Swapping shimano and campag freehubs

Posted on
  • Hi,

    I need to swap out a shimano 11 speed freehub for a campagnolo one, question is before I get going..

    Is the axle and all the other innards different? I have a sneaking suspicion that the axle is different.

    Can anyone shed some light on this? Also interested to know what the best grease to use here if I take it all apart fully and degrease.

    Thanks a lot in advance

  • You need to tell us what wheel/hub it is..

  • It’s a campagnolo shamal ultra wheelset

  • Campy/fulcrum wheels are just a straight freehub swap.

  • I just took the freehub off both and the campy one will go on what was the shimano, but not the other way around!

  • About to go through the same process on a Campagnolo wheelset that comes with a Shimano Freehub. What is the bit that I need to buy to make this a Campagnolo wheel?

  • Since I had both a campag and shimano I was able to swap them around but from memory I think the internal section profile of the freehub was different, so it required a slightly different axle, I think that was the only difference in the end - I think all other bits you could use either. But I would certainly check with manufacturers documents and don’t quote me it was a while ago!
