    by any chance would anyone have a cassette with a shimano spline and campag spacing in an 12/28 ratio? i know ambrosio do them but there dosnt seem to be any available online.
    other brands with same set up also considered.

    cheers

    i used to buy these but now i make my own..
    you need an old worn out campy cassette as a doner for spacers first...
    then any shimano cassette (€20 for tiagra new)...cut the 3 rivet pins at the back with a grinder or chisel and hey presto all rings are loose..

    build back on hub using campy spacers and your done...
    will save you €40 or more ( if you have the spacers!!)

    oh..and you can make up to a 32 cassette which campy dont do!!!
    youd need a medium cage derailleur mind.. ive made a 30 tooth work with short cage

    Lizzylad84 - would you not just change the freehub and use the correct cassette?

    Dunno about the OP but the reason I've done it would be to use a wheel set that the free hub can't be swapped on - for example - I've a couple of sets of older bulletproof 7700/7800 DA Hubbed wheels I like to use on dirty days....
    Simple workaround
