Converting DT Swiss / Hugi 240 hub Shimano to Campy
A question for anyone out there who knows the inner workings of the DT 240s (a.k.a. Hugi 240): I'm considering buying a 240 wheelset for myself, while my girlfriend is converting her 240-based wheelset for use on her new bike. I'm on Shimano 9, she's on Campy 9. So could I just buy a Campy hub on my new wheelset and swap the freewheeels, or do I need to buy the $80 DT kit? Are the Shimano and Campy hubs themselves actually different? (and yep, I've considered the obvious "just trade wheels" answer, but I've got over 60 pounds on her, rear wheels aren't quite interchangable between us).
Thanks in advance for any knowledge of this that anyone can offer.

Well you have to also take into account that you wil lneed to have both wheels redished if you swap the free hubs, so factor the cost of 2 wheel truings into your decision. Yes I believe you CAN do what you are looking at doing.
