    hey so i have an issue.
    and google won't help in a fast way.
    i recently bought a 2nd hand pair of fulcrum racing sevens.
    unfortunately for a shimano cassette owner the matching won't work
    however on CRC i can buy a shimano freehub for the fulcrums for 55e
    or i can buy a campagnolo casette for 37e when there back in stock.
    will a campagnolo casette work with a shimano Tiagra rear mech?
    any thoughts?

    Short answer : no

    Longer answer : yes, with a J-Tek Shiftmate

    So getting the Shimano freehub is probably still the best idea.

    I've a ten speed campag hub and casette running with Ultegra on one bike and previously had that on my main bike. Spacing is so close that shifting was perfect. So it works for me.

    I'd just get the freehub. Not worth messing around with these things, you can get conversion cassettes etc... the Jtek has been mentioned, but why bother if its only 55 Euro to get rid of the problem properly ?
