Got a wheel that has a campag 9 speed cassette will it work with a 9 speed shimano set up ?

Not really, the gaps between sprockets are ever so slightly different. You'll probably get it working OK over most of the range with a jump or two somewhere but it'll never be as good as full Shimano or full Campag setup.

Can you take some spacers from an old Shimano cassette and use them?

I use the opposite system on my "good" road bike. Works fine IMO.

IIRC there is a page on the CTC website with all the cross compatible options (eg on my other road bike i use 9s ergo, shimano mech and 8s cassette whch works ok)

Edric depends on cog thickness.

I have run campag 9 speed mechs and ergo shifters on a Shimano cassettee and I hate to say it but it ran alot smoother than a all campag set up I know there is a differance in the cog spacing but it [b]worked realy well[/b]

Just try it what have you got to loose

I have an old campag 8 speed and they are all separate sprockets and spacers.

Yes it works but it's a bit clunky (have set up a couple of bikes this way)

Campags 10s ergo and shimano mechs/9 sp cassette on my cx (hubbub fix for the mech) which works perfectly.

Why?

I ran Campag 10 shifters with an 8 speed dura ace rear mech - why? - because Campag shifters were about £40 and the cheapest shimano STI's at the time were about £120.

9speed shimano cassette with campag ergo here. Works fine. I have a mavin m9 cassette somewhere that is supposed to be a solution..
