campy freehub body... replace with shimano compatible?

I have a campy record 10 speed wheels/hubs. On special occassions I
would like to replace the freehub body with a shimano compatible 9
speed freehub body so I can use an 11/34 mountain bike cassette for
hill climbing events.

I have been replacing the entire wheel... but that requires borrowing
a wheel from a friend. I'm hoping I can just remove the freehub and
replace it with another.

thanks

thanks... my hub is a 10 speed.. so it has to be fairly new.
I did see a shimano compatible freehub but it said for 8 speed... I'm
assuming they make a 9 speed one as well?

thanks
charlie

ps-- at $125 would I be ahead to get an open pro rim and build another
wheel?

Yes, Campagnolo makes a shimano compatible freehub body that will just slide
on, if your rear Campagnolo hub is the one with an aluminum axle, from 1998 or
later.
About $125.

Since you have Campy Record 10 rear hub (current one with oversized
axle), why not TRY your current wheelset by putting on Campy 10 spd
cogs on your Campy rear hub and see if it will work with your shimano
10 shifters. Should work. If it does, you save yourself at least $125.

If not, then spend the money. Of course, if you just want to build up
another rear wheel, then do it!

If for 8s shimano it will also work for shimano 9s and 10s-as the Campagnolo
produced one is.

I have a different situation... it is currently all campy record 10
.... but I want to use an 11-34 rear cassette for some hill climb
races. Campy's max is a 13-29 cassette .. so I want to put a shimano
MTB 11-34 cassette on the stock campy setup, hence the reason for
asking about a shimano compatible freehub body .

I should have realized that.. thanks.

I looked around at rims and hubs... and that seems a lot more
expenisve than the freehub body approach.
