Re: Campag Veloce 8spd cassette jumping - smallest 2 cogs
Hi Hillwalker
Thanks for this suggestion - I was getting excited about it for a minute! Sadly, it is an exadrive freehub, with the slightly thinner single spline for correct cog placement - I suspect that this means that they can't simply be spun around.
However, found another Campag wheel with a 9 speed cassette on it lurking in the back of the garage - shall give this a try and swap it over, using the 8 speed spacers from the current set-up which is giving me the jip. The 9 speed cassette looks to be in much better condition.

Sticking me neck out here, but if you are using the original Campag 8 speed setup (top left in this link) http://branfordbike.com/articles/casset ... s-pg60.htm and not the later Exa Drive setup, then in theory you should be able to remove the cassette and reverse the largest 2 cogs so they are 'inside out'. Not the best technical fix I know, and it probably won't do anything for the smoothness of shifting, but if it makes a difference then you are closer to confirming the cause of the problem.
Just a thought...
