Shimano conversion cassettes

Postby Jim B » Fri Nov 27, 2009 8:34 pm

Has anyone tried Marchisio cassettes that allow Shimano spacing on a Campag freehub?
Thinking of changing my TT setup from campag to shimano but have a campag disc that I don't think has a changeable freehub.
The Marchisio solution sounds good in theory, but would be interested to hear from anyone who's tried it before I fork out £100 on one.

You could just run the Shimano changer on friction and save yourself the money :wink:

Will try it then.
Haven't changed over yet, but Campag don't make 11speed shifters and all the new groupsets are 11 speed. Where's the logic in that? Good job I can't afford a Ghibli disk as they only take a 9 speed cassette!

I have the conversion cassette on my disk. Haven`t had any problems. I think the durace cassette is even dearer.

Run 9 speed with a Ghibli (possibly on friction, or use a Fulcrum disc.

have a look at Jtek engineering, they sell little pullies that you fix to the back of the rear derailleur and allow you to use different systems together. I have one to allow me to use campag 10 speed shifters with 10speed shimano cassettes. They work really well, by changing the amount of cable pulled.
