Default Spacers/spacing for Shimano on Campy hub

I have a bunch of Campy 9-10s wheels that I would like to run on a bike that
I have set up with Shimano shifting. I know there are several kits to space
shimano cogsets to Campy spacing, but is there a kit with spacers to make
Campy compatible with Shimano shifting?

9 or 10 speed Shimano? C10 spacing is exactly halfway in between, and
both S9 and S10 cassettes shift well with otherwise C10 setups (my CX
bike is all Campy 10-speed with except for the rear hub [Deore] and
cassette [SRAM PG970]). If you use C10 cassettes with S10 RD &
shifters, I'd be surprised if it didn't work, although you'd need to
loosen the limit screws and adjust the cable to reach the last cog.
Make sure the jockey wheel is centered when on the middle two cogs,
and the limit screws should do the rest.

If you demand more precision than that, get a Shiftmate.

Um, ah, "try it as-is first?"

My other half has a Centaur 10sp bike, not a year old yet. Couldn't
find a satisfactorily cheap Campy 28h rear hub for the second set of
wheels, got an earlier-gen (small axle) Ultegra rear hub, normal
Ultegra 10 cassette. Thought I'd have to "adapt", but it works just
fine. Wheels change out, original Centaur hub/10sp cassette, to
Ultegra 10 and back, no der. adj. needed, new or after a little use.

Just to say, she's a returning rider, the brifters and clipless pedals
were all new stuff to her; the pedals required some familiarization,
and the front shifter has been a little tricky for her ("you have to
kind of pop it, dear") but no problems on the back reported so far.

The former pro shop mech. who built the wheels (now with his own
successful biz-in-the-garage) was mildly surprised but "there you go".
EZ. --D-y
