Record 8-speed. With the bulbous shape on the cassette side. They were the version right before everything started to go 9 and 10 speed. They're 'relatively' low mileage hubs and would be used on a bike that doesn't get used all that much. So I think it is a worthy conversion, if possible.

I did this with a 9s Mirage freehub. I haven't seen one for sale for awhile, at least a year. I got mine at Crosslake Sales, but they don't have any in stock. I think it was about $30 for the complete hub.
Good luck. |

Can't find anything that says for sure, but I believe the Miche "M" series 8 and 9 speed cassettes fit on the old Campy 8 freehub body. (CA is current Campy and SH is Shimano/SRAM) So you could at least go to 9 by simply buying that cassette.

You need a Mirage/Veloce freewheel which has a coil spring for each pawl.
Either FH-MI115 & FH-MI215 will do, the difference being the size of the lockring thread, 26mm or 27mm respectively. FH-SC015, the more recent freewheel with the single wraparound pawl spring, will not fit into your hub. There is also the possibility that you will need to find a different axle: |

If you can't find the Mirage hub, I have one. |

Yep...3 or 4 running. Just need to find a 9s Mirage bell shaped hub (2004-2006 as Mark said). Zero issues, you may need to machine/cut a different length spacer between the freehub bearing and hub bearing.

Keep the front wheel; sell the rear wheel on ebay. Take those proceeds plus what you would spend on a new hub and buy a new rear wheel. You will be fine going ghetto with 2 different rims - it will give you street cred!

Yep, my (well, my wife's) beautiful 8-spd Chorus hub lives on thanks to a donor 9-10 spd Mirage hub, and a custom spacer, fabricated by Mark. For some time you could buy them on the 'Bay for $30... there's only one available now... and the price is $88!

2 and 3 are for oversized aluminum axles. The only one that worked was made in 1997/8 right after Campagnolo went to 9s and still had steel and titanium, 12mm axles. |

Thanks for all the info!
It's probably not worth it in the end.... 9-speed doesn't help because I'm trying to use the wheels on 10-speed bikes. No biggie. Someone is going to get a bunch of killer 8-speed stuff when I get rid of the frame in question. It's a nice bike but I don't ride it much anymore. The wheels will likely survive the end of the world. They are Record laced to Nemesis 32/32. Can't kill 'em. |

I also went down this path years ago, when the rare parts needed to do the conversion were even less rare than they are now. And still, it was much too much bother to do. I re-laced the wheels by swapping out the hubs.
The Nemesis rims are worth saving if the brake tracks are still good. |
