Rhys, whilst I'm not interested in the wheels (being a Campag man) a big well done.

And, who knows? These wheels might be famous one day, in a sort of "as ridden by Rhys Lloyd" type way - rather like the pair of track wheels I've got that (allegedly) have John Tudor's Campag Record hubs in them.

Rhys,
Kisses for the boys ?? I know you love us, but be careful or people might get the wrong idea !!!

Well done Sunday !

Do they take a 9 speed block?

sorry i dont think they do take a 9spd block. that's they problem with all the 10spd stuff. i will try a 9spd block on there and get back to you.

I've been told the 10 speed blocks are thinner than the 9, but you can get a spacer to make up the difference. We used to use them when converting the old 7 speed to 8 on the mountain bike blocks.

All shimano 9 speed will take a 10 speed and Vicky Verky as they are the same overall diameter. I swap 9 and 10 around on the same hubs withhout any problem.

The diameter is no problem, it's the depth of the block thats the problem, the 10 speed is narrower and causes the lock nut to bottom out before it locks the sprockets down tight, it's only a gnats but it'll cause poor gear changes,you can get the spacers from cycle world, if Mr bruce is out of stock or even out of the country.

Does it come in Campag 10?

Ok if you think a 9 speed cassette will fit on the hub.
Then I will offer you 120 pounds for set.........

you are open to offers aren't you

Rhys is away at a training camp. I will put your offer to him.

These wheels are only suitable for Shimano 10 speed cassettes, its not to due with the width of the body, but the splines are taller on 10 speed specific cassette bodies, so although 10 speed cassettes will fit on older 8 and 9 speed bodies, 8 and 9 speeds cassettes will not fit 10 speed specific bodies.

We seem to have a difference of opion on the 9 speed
fitting these wheels.

Rhys can you / have you personally tried the 9 speed on these wheels~??

Cheers

Hi.............Rhys
are these wheels still available ????
not heard anything for a while........
I'm still interested.

Are they on e-bay?

Cheers Tim

So could you then use 9 out of the ten sprockets combined with 9 speed spacers ?
