VeloOrange Grand Cru Hub Compatibility

[Bling]

I really want the VeloOragne wheels with their high flange touring hub, but I heard that the higher flanges cause the spoke ends to rub the innermost cog on Campy 11-speed cassettes.

Has anyone tried this, and made it work?

I have an Athena Cassette. What if I added some drillium to the largest cog, to fit around the spokes? Any other MacGyver-like ideas?

Alternatively, is there anyone else that makes a wheel similar to this: http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/components/wheelsets-rims-hubs/complete-wheels/700c/grand-cru-touring-hub-diagonale-700c-rear-wheel-130mm.html

Bump. No feedback?

I think I'm gonna try and stuff my cassette on the wheel anyway. These are so perfect for my build...

Yes, email correspondence... They couldn't give an unequivocal answer.

Hey Bling, I have a set of VO touring hubs built up in the shop. I know I have had a 10sp Campy cassette on them and I will check later today if the 11 fits. Stand by.

From what I've seen of Velo Orange products, it would probably work on some examples but not on others...

Wow, that's awesome! This forum is amazing!!

11 speed is a no go on the VO hubs.

Rats! Thanks, that is a huge help!
