Campagnolo cassette on Shimano drivetrain?
Hello,
I was wondering if it’s possible to run a campagnolo 12 speed cassette on the new ultegra 12 speed groupset. I am a junior and therefore have a gear rollout restriction. The biggest gear allowed is for example 52-14, but as there are still no shimano 12 speed cassettes with the smallest cog being 14, could I use a campy cassette instead (they offer such a size) or would it not work. I could probably use a smaller chainring, but it would have to be really small for the rollout to be inside the regulation with the smallest cog on the cassete being 11 and I don’t think the front deralieur would work with such a small chainring (I think it would have to be a 41).
Hope someone can answer my question and thank you in advance.

The hubs are still different, so you can’t fit a Campy cassette to a Shimano hub.
But, from what I’ve read, the spacing is close enough so that as long as your wheel can take a Campy cassette, you can use the rest of your Shimano drivetrain.
Some non-Shimano wheels can be converted from Shimano pattern freehub to Campy pattern freehub.

Campy doesn't make a 12 speed cassette starting with a 14 either. Maybe some other company makes a Campy compatible cassette.
