Default Re: Shimano cassette on Campy wheel

what sort of lock ring do you need to use? Standard campy lock ring (which are size specific to your cassette...) or a shimano made lock ring?

Is the axle size the same on the older, steel axles from the 90s as on the recent/current axles -- that is, is the fit universal on all Campy hubs?


The new HG compatible freehub body is for the aluminum axled hubs, but I see the supplier lists one for the steel axle, Centaur/Veloce type hubs as well. All are about $100.

Since for shimano the lockring comes with the cassette, a shimano lockring.

Probably about $20, via USPS.

Thanks for the info ...

OR, should I say "thank goodness I have enough hubs (for the time being) with the freehub spline type(s) that I need!" AND/OR can relace my own wheels -- on the one hand, $100 is reasonable for retrofitting a Record hub ... but, it seems a bit extreme for a Centaur/Veloce hub (IMO).

So, do you happen to know if the axles (steel vs. alloy) actually have a different diameter?

BTW. This is probably of little-or-no interest for most-if-not-all cyclists, but a few years ago when one of the cartridge bearings in an older (circa 1998) Record freehub crapped out [one of the Red Ryder BB-sized bearings in one of the bearing cartridges fractured] & my LBS was clueless about ordering new bearings, I managed to cannibalize a Shimano-compatible 3-pawl freehub from another hub & transplant it onto the older Record hub shell (the ID of the bearings in the freehub matched the axle's diameter ... but, I can imagine ONE reason why there might possibly be two different models even if the axle size is the same). The cobbled-together hub BARELY WORKED, but allowed me to continue to use the hub -- the ratchets were worn just-enough to allow the pawls to flutter past the ratchet's sawteeth otherwise the hub would not have freewheeled (curiosity had made me test fit the Shimano-compatible freehub in a new Campy hub shell to test feasibility of other transplants -- it wasn't -- so, I've been on the look-out for other, comparable options [just in case!]).

Thanks.. I'll get back to you. I'm in the process of rebuilding my Ritchey Break Away and I have a pair of WH-R600 I was going to use... but I'd love to keep the Campy Neutrons on the bike.
