Question

OK, I've spent the last several decades running Campag gear systems, not because I thinks they're any better than the other flavours, just that I can swap wheels around between bikes with no serious worries if I stick to one system for all bikes...

Now let's imagine I want to run a bike with disc brakes, but keep Campag gears. What are my options? Campag don't make a disc hub. Are there makes of hubs that are compatible with Campag cassettes? If I look up Tune or Hope hubs, for instance, they don't appear to come in different versions for different gear systems... Or do I have to run, say, a Shimano disc hub with Campag spacers in a Shimano cassette?

Or am I just missing something easy/obvious? Which wouldn't be the first time.

Thanks in advance....

Hi Rob,

As far as I'm aware Hope pro2 evo disc hubs are compatible with their hope campag freehub body so you could use your campag cassettes on them.

If you ring them up and ask nicely perhaps they could supply you hope pro2 evo hubs with the campag rotor body fitted instead of the standard shimano/sram one then you wouldn't have to buy the hub and campag rotor body seperately.

Not 100% on this Rob, but I think You can buy a DT Swiss disc hub and change the freehub body to Campag. The serial numbers for the 240 road and 240 mtb disc freehub body are different but I think it's just because they have different end caps or something?
If you build a rear wheel with a DT 240s hub it will last forever mine is on its 8th winter or something silly now

I have a new DT Campag freehub body you can have.

Like I say not 100% so some googling might be needed.

Ok Rob I just googled 'converting DT Swiss disc hubs to Campagnolo' and it appears it's been done.

Thanks chaps, that will get me started.
Still not sure whether I'm going to go for this yet....... but the research is fun!

A bit pricey but have always had a reputation for top end quality and reliability.

Thanks Tullio. Royce not actually much more than Hope to be honest....

But this post has just made me realise while Tullio is from Vicenza. Only took me 6 years to realise...
