Hello,

I'd like to buy second hand rear Zipp 900 disc fitted with a Shimano 10 speed cassette. I have Campagnolo 11 speed groupsets, and I'm wondering if this wheel can be retrofitted successfully. If yes, would you please give me some detail about the spare parts, codes and where to buy it? Many thanks in advance.

It's a couple of minutes worth of work, really super simple. Start with identifying the hub. Depending on the age of the 900, probably a 188 hub. There's instructions in the original packaging for the hub, just pay attention to where the two washers go and you're good to go. I've done this on my wife's Zipp 900, her Zipp 808 rear and my Super9 and my 808FC rear. Here's another beauty of this... 10spd Shimano hubs can't easily be converted to Shimano 11, but they can very quickly be converted to Campy 11 (since Campy didn't change the spacing of the hub for 9-10-11) and a Campy 11spd cassette shifts perfect with a Shimano 11 drive train.

Thanks so much, but I'm not totally sure a 11s Shimano cassette will work fine in a 11s Campagnolo 2015 drivetrain.
