Changing Campag Veloce to Shimano 105 on Bianchi Nirone 7 c2c
I am thinking of changing campag veloce to shimano 105 on Bianci Nirone 7 c2c.
It is my wife's bike and she wants a 32 on the back. Are there any problems to this. Would the BB need shims and is it Italian thread etc?
Any advice would be helpful.
Cheers
Steve

I'm not giving you wrenching advice but I'm curious why the change from Campy. I have Athena on one bike and ultegra 6800 on the other. They are both smooth but after riding Campy for so long, I can't stand not having the thumb shifters. Again, both are great, it's just a preference thing. I'm sure if I rode shimano for years Campy would feel foreign.

It would be a lot easier to change the cassette and the rear derailleur vs changing the whole system.

Yes. Get a Miche cassette with the larger gears, and make sure your derailleur has enough wrap. I use a Campy Comp Triple for my touring bikes, and it works well for the large rear cogs.

Thanks for all your replies. The reason for changing is that my wife would like a 32 on the back and the most I could see for campag was 29 or 30. Also the bike is around 5 years old and is on its 3rd set of shifters and its 4th bottom bracket. My bike that has done about 3K miles more is still on its original shimano. I will look up the Miche cassette to see if thats an easier option.

If this 10sp you can get a Shimano freewheel, 11-32 cassette, and a Sram "direct actuation" mtb derailleur.
You could also go to 11-34 or 11-36 with this set up.
