Default Bontrager Race X-Lite DT Swiss hubs Question?

I've heard the Bontrager Race X-Lite DT Swiss hub is both Campy and Shimano
compatible.
If so, can you fit a Campy 10sp cassette on the Bontrager Race X-Lite DT
Swiss hub and will it shift with the Dura Ace 10sp shifters?

I think the hub accepts either a Shimano or a Campy Cassette body. If
you fit it for Campy and a Campy cassette, the spacing isn't great for
DURA ACE 10 speed shifters. Shimano 10 speed indexes 3.95 mm while the
Campy 10 speed cassette is spaced 4.12 mm. If you have the wheels with a
Campy cassette and Campy cassette body, you should swap shifter or
cassette body and cassette to get the optimal that the system was
designed for.

You can change the cassette body. There are two: one for Shimano
cassettes and one for Campy.

Yes, with the Campy body.

Sorry, I've never tried that combo.

But you can just put the Shimano 10s cassette on the Bontrager
cassette body for shimano.

Campagnolo 10 is 4.12 and shimano 9 is 4.34 and this setup works well so I
think a 4.12 and a 3.95 would also. In other words, Campagnolo and DA 10s mix
and match is OK...
