| | From Campag to Shimano via Mavic Thinking of buying a pair of Mavic Cosmic Carbone wheels- only slight fly in the ointment is that they are Campag. I have heard that a Mavic cassette may be used to convert this to a shimano spacing- has anyone tried this? Equally I believe that you can swap freehub bodies- has anyone tried this/can confirm that this can be done with this wheelset? Cheers. |

| | Whilst I appreciate the build quality, materials used etc of Campag I just do not get on with the downshift lever location. My girlfriends bike has a full Chorus Carbon group, and it is a pleasure to work on etc, but when riding it (which looks fairly comical- it's a 47cm and I'm 6'2") whenever I downshift it reminds me, strongly, of my first roadbike with Shimano Tiagra. Plus, quite frankly, Dura-Ace is cheap- £99 for 7800 STI levers from wheel and sprocket etc. |
