8 speed Campagnolo shifters and derailleur can be used with modern Shimano hubs. I took an 8 sp. SRAM cassette and a 7 sp. shimano cassette apart, put the 7 speed spacers in between the 8 speed cogs, and put the new cassette on my 9sp shimano wheelset. Works like a charm, and the parts are much easier to find parts than an 8 speed campy wheelset (at least in my neck of the woods).
