Ritchey Freehub / Campy/Shim cassette mount question
Bob wrote in
: I know next to nothing about freehubs... so I have a basic question. I have a Ritchey Zero rear hub. Will it accept either a Campy or a Shimano spec cassette ? I understand that there is a difference in spacing of the sprockets in terms of indexing... is there an overall difference in thickness that would make this either a Shimano *or* a Campy freehub setup, but not both? There does not appear to be a way to adjust the spacing in the traditional way of just adding or removing washers from the axle on this hub (but again, I am clueless on newer stuff). So I am wondering how universal this freehub is. Thanks, It's not universal. According to ritcheylogic.com, the hub is available in a Shimano OR a Campy model, which must be selected at the time of purchase. If you already have a set in hand, I'm guessing they're Shimano-compatible. Shimano cogs have notches that are, what? 1.5mm deep? Campy cogs have notches that are like 3 or 4mm deep. Shimano has a key notch that's wider than the rest, whereas Campy has a spline with a second notch on its side. Good luck! |
