So I have some wheels with Chris King hubs that won't work with Campy (if I go to Campy). What are my options? Can I still use the wheels?

Is this a good option?

Either a conversion cassette like this: http://www.lickbike.com/productpage.aspx?PART_NUM_SUB=%272276-01%27 (http://http://www.lickbike.com/productpage.aspx?PART_NUM_SUB=%272276-01%27)

or a jtek shiftmate. Chris King doesn't make a Campy compatible freehub body you can swap out.

This is what I do.

That freehub is for Campagnolo/Fulcrum hubs only.

Use the Wheels Manufacturing conversion cogset, works great.

Oh wow, that's interesting. So that means I can use my ambrosio /da 7700 set up w/ any 10s shimano cassette if I have the right spacers? Interesting...

Spacers and a lockring are cheaper than a new cassette.

Works for me and everyone I've recommended it to.
