8 Spd to 10 Spd Campy
I pulled my old, early '90's Merlin Extra Light out of the shed, and was thinking it has been so long since I have ridden it, I might as well clean it up and sell it. But having had so many miles on it, I am getting sentimental. I have been riding my other bikes since 2014. It has a mixture of 8 speed Campy Chorus and Record, and Mavic Open Pro wheels. Being old and 6'4"/250, I'm thinking more is better when it comes to the cassette. So I have been doing research on converting an 8 speed to a 10 speed drivetrain. From what I see, you can put an 10 speed cassette on an 8 speed free hub? It's a matter of a spacer or two? Would the same RD be compatible? Can you use the same wheel? Is it worth doing? Back to YouTube. Thank you all for your time.
