DavieB Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Anybody had experience of using the Ambrosio conversion cassettes to allow use of Shimano free hub whilst running on Campag derailleur? To facilitate purchase of tubs for 'cross. Cheers, Davie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Jannza Posted December 25, 2013 Administrators Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Not yet, about to purchase one. My turbo wheel and spare wheels are both Shimano. They seem to have good reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted December 26, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 D Not used one as I have never ventured to the other side. However it should be no problem, quite simply its a Shimano carrier with sprockets that have campag spacing and vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieB Posted December 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Cheers for responses and agreed no reason it shouldn't work. Full speed ahead with project tubular! D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted December 28, 2013 Committee Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Hi Davie, can you please report back when you have had a chance to use them? I love the idea of running low-pressure tubs but I suspect lack of traction is not my main problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieB Posted December 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Alan, Ordered these today as there was an additional 15% off.. http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/WPPXCD/planet-x-cyclocross-disc-and-canti-pro-carbon-50-50-wheelset Got some Vittoria tub tyres half price to go with them. Still swithering over going all in with this... http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CBPXXLS105/planet-x-xls-shimano-105-cyclocross-bike ...which would make the use of a conversion cassette somewhat redundant Still can't decide on whether discs are where it's at, but think big corporations have decided the days of rim braking are numbered for 'cross and road, just more shiny baubles to sell I guess. Will be a while before the first ride (and report) but it's best being prepared! D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
