I'll be as clear as I can.

Road bike is campag

TT bike is shimano

I use a KMC gold chain on my road bike which is both compatible with both shimano and campag

I want to use my road bike when racing with Ewan on clincher deep sections that are shimano. ( I don't want to use my campag tubs as they have a carbon braking surface and don't stop me, my bike, Ewan and the trailer so forget I've got them)

So , as my chain is compatable with both systems is there any reason why I simply can't use my 60mm shimano clinchers from my TT on my campag road bike ?

Or am I totally missing the point ?

Thanks

Shimano cogs are spaced closer together than campag. Shifting will be terrible and skip. May turn your bike into a rubbish 9 speed.

Can you swap the freehub to a campag one then use the proper cassette?

Depending on the wheels some hubs aren't too hard to change (mavic are one), but even so I wouldn't want to be swapping them out every other month.

Don't know. That's a right faff

New wheels new wheels new wheels

Might sell my carbon tubs to pay for carbon clinchers with alu braking surface as they are more versatile

And I'm interested to see what will happen if I swap wheels as discussed above so I'm gonna do. It and ride down the road.

Just interested in the mechanics

Ben, You should note that although I know what the bike doctor posted, I have refrained from mentioning it.

Please don't do these things.
