That's how Shimano goes, but it's more complicated for Campy, they changed their splines at some point, I think it was when they went 9s. However, cramming ten cogs on a 8s cassette body would be totally doable if you had the means to machine a billet cassette to suit, since Shimano didn't try as hard as they could to package the cassette tightly, and Campy tried even less hard. Increasing dish shouldn't be necessary. I modified a billet 10s cassette to fit a Shimano RS80 wheel I retrofit with a 7s cassette body to reduce the dish, and Campy's 8s cassette spacing was wider than Shimano's. If the cassette is wider than the splines, it can be made to overhang on the flange side quite a bit. Although on a Shimano hub there's probably a bit more flexibility with closing the gap between cassette body and dropout a tad, I'm sure it's still possible.

I tried to go through the whole thread but skipped about 15 pages in the middle. To me robbyville's Speedvagen is the hottest bike here...

Thanks seypat. Yeah, the blue is a great match for my frame but wouldn't work on yours. The silver wheels look great on yours.

Thanks guys!! I'm really happy with how this bike is coming along, and as an added bonus, it rides and handles great!! lol
I need to get some pics with the sun, the new wheels have a satin finish that looks really good, but it was overcast so it didn't come through in these shots.
