Does anyone have experience with these:

It looks to solve the issue of using a Chris King rear hub with a Campy drivetrain.

Just wondering how well it works.

Thanks.

Ozz,

Yea, But I believe they accomplish this by just sticking a lower
cog at the end. So you end up with an 11 or 12 tooth gear.
Custon Cog ratios don't exist ( at least last time I checked )

White Industries makes a fine Campy Compatible Hub.
Price is in the CK Range. Like the CK Hubs, Whites are a
bit noisy, but roll without friction.

Just checked the site. I was correct ..... They just stick
an 11 on the end. How often will you use an 11 ????

I have the White Industries Hub on a pair of Speed Dreams. They are a little loud, but they spin forever. I also run them with Campy.

I have one of these cassettes I use on Shimamo freehubs to run with my Campy 10. What do I think? I do not like these - because they "feel" like (and are) Shimano cogs and shfting (in the rear of the bike.) Not as positive and never quite as perfect as the Campy Cassettes. - Matt

Thanks for the info guys!

What's up with CK anyway? How hard is it to make a hub that takes a campy cassette?

Those White Industries hubs look pretty nice. I'll probably end up with those or the DT Swiss 240s hubs.

The Whites are a find hub. Make sure you avoid the Ti
axle. THey have been known to break woth heavy riders.

I'm running the Mountain Bike hubs on my Road BIke.
