10 >> 11 - hub/wheel problems

Postby daedelus » Fri Apr 27, 2012 4:08 am

Hi fellow believers,

I've swapped to 11 Speed, but the 12/25 cassettte won't fit on my old (10yrs at least) Nucleons as the 25 sprocket rubs the spokes...
Does any expert here know if an updated freehub would fit the Nucleons (and Scirrocos & Protons) and so allow 11 speed. Otherwise they're all restricted to 10 speed from now on, and I'll have to start saving for Eleven speed wheels....

Thanks

Mike

I had a similar problem with a cheap Taiwanese hub. I found I could shim the freehub ~0.8mm without compromising the seal too much. I also took the precaution of putting in a plastic shim for the pawls. I don't know if that will work with your Campy hub but it may be worth a look.

Ok, thanks Bill.

I'm not sure I'm enough of an engineeer to do that but I'll have a look!

Thanks
