[RBW] Re: Campagnolo on a Sam/Homer?

Hope is another one, but it is not <$100 as required. Miche makes a ton of Campy compatible stuff, but I don't think ever made a 135mm rear hub. Wheels Manufacturing makes cassette cog spacers designed to re-space your Shimano/SRAM cassette on your cheap Shimano hub into Campy spacing. Bill

[RBW] Re: Campagnolo on a Sam/Homer?

I'd put the White Industries hub up there in the "pricey" category as well... The VO is better, but I suppose what I'm looking for is something in the $100 range... You can find good quality Shimano/SRAM stuff all day in that price range, but Campy is a whole 'nother level, it seems. -- You

So without going too spendy (Phil/Chris King, etc), I was wondering what the options for running a Campy drivetrain on a 135mm rear spacing are? I've heard tell that Bitex offers their RAR12 with a 135mm axle and Campy freewheel, but haven't been able to find it anywhere... Anyone know of any

Just an FYI, make sure to check thread pitch requirements when pairing cog and lockring with your hub. Also, different cogs have different thread widths that can affect lockring engagement. In most cases you will be just fine, but double-checking just in-case is advisable. Best, Clayton Scott
