MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
[i]herself[/i] is looking to build up a "versatile" drop bar bike which will use Campagnolo gears (possible EPS... ooohhhhh!!!). What she's looking for is a wheelset that take tires up to 40mm, potential for tubeless, running standard 6 bolt discs and with Campag freehub.
Hope Hoops appear to have an option for this, but I can't actually find anyone selling them, JRA suggest that they'll send them, but I guess it'll be a special order.
Who's running 135mm OLN + disc + Campag? and what are you using?
I am. Well, sort of. I only use Campag ergos as that's the campag bit that I actually specifically want - the rest (eg mechs, cassettes, hubs etc) I don't really care whether they're Shimano, SRAM or Campag.
As such, I've done both Shimergo (10 speed Campag shifters w/ 9 speed Shimano mechs/cassette/chain) and now a mix of 10s Campag shifters and 10s SRAM mechs, cassette, etc which works spot on. It also allows me to fit a clutch mech which is great for when it's used as a CX bike.
Both of these get around the wheel problem by allowing the use of Shimano/SRAM type cassette fittings.
IME you won't really find campag disc hubs or at least not easily, other than the Hope ones you've mentioned which any Hope dealer will be able to order in for you.
EPS will obviously limit the options further (and from what I've heard, I'd wait for the next version as it still seems a little, er... quirky 😉 )
Thanks, we're assuming that Chorus EPS should have incorporated all the things that they've learnt from the R/ SR and Athena EPS versions and the new v2 seat tube battery. Do you think they're going to substantially change the system for v3?
CFH - thanks, we'd found those - seems to do what she wants, just can't find anyone who actually sells them.
Surely something like a DT Swiss 240 will also do this, you just have to buy the disc version then the Campag freehub?
The Hopes will be a special order for most places but will only take a couple of days to come from them.
Whereabouts are you? My LBS (Wiltshire) has some in stock. Think they may have been Shimano, but easily changed I believe.
Dt 240s was the only option a few years ago when I did this
How many speed are you running, if 11 just get a Shimano compatible 11 speed hub/135mm/disc hub'd wheel, and use a Shimano cassette, as the spacing for 11 speed is the same for Campag, SRAM & Shimano.
the spacing for 11 speed is the same for Campag, SRAM & Shimano
Interesting!
11 speed compatibility
I had a new set of wheels built by JustRidingAlong with Hope Pro2 evo hubs and they swapped the Shimano freehub for a Campag one free of charge.
Think it might be 10speed only mind.
Next time I'd go for DT hubs - they might be able to do the same deal on the Campy freehub swap if you ask.
Thanks. Makes life easier!
DT 350 is maybe what JRA would suggest. Use a Shimano cassette as they're much cheaper than Campag.
I'm pretty sure FatBirds still had some of the Kinesis v3 CX wheelsets with Campag freehubs - that'd be reet.
velocity atb hubs are campag/ disc. they use them in wheels sets...
