Save the campy hubs for an eroica bike that gets just used occasionally. If you are carrying a load then old hubs with screw on freeewheels are not reliable. You might be lucky but there is a big reason that all hubs now use cassettes and that is the axle is supported at each end and another bearing inside the freehub body. Old hubs have the freewheel hanging out past the bearing supporting the axle and are prone to bending. I used to buy Dura-ace axles by the box when I was a youngster riding big kms
