From Campag to Shimano via Mavic

Thinking of buying a pair of Mavic Cosmic Carbone wheels- only slight fly in the ointment is that they are Campag.

I have heard that a Mavic cassette may be used to convert this to a shimano spacing- has anyone tried this?

Equally I believe that you can swap freehub bodies- has anyone tried this/can confirm that this can be done with this wheelset?

Cheers.

can swap hub body's in 2 min. i bought mine 2nd hand for £20, new they are around £45-50 :(

Swap sprockets, rear mech and shifters to Campag. Much easier and you'll be wondering why you didn't do it years ago.

Sorry. Equally you can do what DB says. But I wouldn't.

Whilst I appreciate the build quality, materials used etc of Campag I just do not get on with the downshift lever location.
My girlfriends bike has a full Chorus Carbon group, and it is a pleasure to work on etc, but when riding it (which looks fairly comical- it's a 47cm and I'm 6'2") whenever I downshift it reminds me, strongly, of my first roadbike with Shimano Tiagra.
Plus, quite frankly, Dura-Ace is cheap- £99 for 7800 STI levers from wheel and sprocket etc.

Did it with Corima, which sells casette bodies seperately. By the way Roberto has Carbones for sale.

Would you happen to know (roughly) how much he is after, and if they are Shimano or Campag?

they are campag and i recommended around £600
