camp to shimano

Can a campagnolo wheel be made to fit a shimano, found some bracciano,s but only in campagnolo

You'd have to replace the Campag freehub with a Shimano one, but the question is why you would want to?

Cant find any braccianos with shimano freehub, there the lightest wheels I can afford, unless I look abroad, and I don't know enough about these foreign sellers to trust them.

Just fit a Campag 10 speed cassette and run them like that. It'll work fine.

+1, a Campag cassette will work fine.

It was the opposite way for me, I used to run a Shimano 10 speed cassette with a Campag Veloce groupset

I mix and match both ways. Campag on my road bikes, Shimano on my cross bikes, and 11 wheelsets about half and half in both camps. Jeez, 11 wheelsets. How did that happen?

I have Campag Vento wheels on my winter bike, with an Ultegra groupset. All I had to do was change the freehub fior a shimano one.

Thanks for all the replies,never occurred to me that would work.

Whether wheel mix and match works tolerably or like it is broken depends on the sprocket spacing difference between the intended and the actual as provided in the first table here. Setting cable tension to line the rear mech up perfectly at a middle sprocket, or the most used, can help.

Thanks for the for the link, but a bit to technical for me, I read every word none of it sunk in and now I have a headache but cheers anyway, I think I'm going to buy some campagnolo zonda I can get them in shimano freehub, wen can get the money together, my finances just took a turn for the worse, misses just booked a holiday.
