Shimano and Campagnolo Compatability

[nporternz]

Hey,

I have a Klein Rascal with Campagnolo Bullet shifters, fron and rear record or mechs and I was wondering whether these are compatible with a shimano cassette and chain as I dont have the money for a wheel rebuild with campag kit just yet

Have a look down this page and work out of the spacing is going to be compatible. Think it will be OK with 7 speed Shimano.

it might work but you'll still burn in hell for breaking the commandments of bicycle building

thou shalt not mix shimano with thy neighbour's campag

I have run a mix of Campagnolio Record and Delta with Shimano 600 on my road bike for about 15 years with no problems

thanks guys.

its a short term fix. Until I can source/buy/afford to build my campag wheels I want to put my 7 speed Shimano wheels on the bike so I can ride it!!!!

Thanks for the help!!

Well, I am confident it'll work.

I run Campag wheels (Ventos) through Shimano 600 mechs with a Shimano chain, and shifting is silky smooth.

yeah i just tried the shimano 7speed wheels on the bike and it works great. The shifters are indexed for a 8speed campagnolo as I managed to borrow a friends set but the shift good too on the 7speed Shimano.

I shall now ride!!!

Campag 7 and 8 have exactly the same cog spacing (5mm) so it should be perfect.

Simano narrowed it down when going for 8 speed to 4.8mm.
