Does anyone have a Shimano freehub that will fit a set of Campag Shamals or similar? And at a push could be with me before Friday as the wheels I was going to use for a trip next week are Campag fit...

If you’re on 11 speed the 2 types work perfectly well together - I currently have wheels with a shimano free hub and 11 speed sram cassette on my bike with 11 speed campy. Also works the other way round ie. Campy cassette and shimano / sram mechs.

Obviously not helpful if you’re using 10speed or less…

I am currently using 11 speed Campag cassette with my Shimano Ultegra 11 speed but that is only a 27 lowest gear, was hoping to run a 29 for this trip but the friend I am borrowing the wheels/cassette from doesn't think it will work?

As far as I know, all 11sp Campy will take 29, regardless of the cage size. I've got 2 bikes with mismatched cassettes (TT bike Shimano di2 with Miche disc wheel & Campag cassette, 11sp chorus road bike with shimano cassette), both works without any issues.

Edit: other way around, you need the shimano derailleur to take the campagnolo cassette. It should be OK.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
