When you’re as inept as I am that first ride after you’ve disassembled a hub is always a little scary, but I’m pleased to report there were no ass-plosions:
Sure, there was an Asplundh, but that’s about it:
[We like to say Spinergys ass-plode, but technically it’s the front wheel that ass-plodes, while the rear wheel asplunds.]
And after awhile I was able to forget that my safety depended entirely on a single pubic hair:
It’s not unusual for competing brands to make their products incompatible. For example, if you own an iPhone and you send a text to someone with an Android device, the message will arrive seven days later and in Malaysian, and if they attempt to reply both your phones will explode. Since the dawn of the Indexing Era, Shimano and Campagnolo have also been more or less incompatible; sure, you might get lucky and find your 10-speed Campagnolo shifted a Shimano wheel just fine, but you might also find it was just constantly off by just enough to drive you crazy. (Though as I understand it 11-speed Campagnolo and Shimano spacing is basically identical, and therefore interchangeable, which is ironic because they finally jammed so many cogs in there they didn’t have any space left to engineer any incompatibility into the system.)
Given this, I assumed I’d at least have to do a little fiddling with the derailleur after putting a Shimano-compatible freehub in a Campy hub, but I didn’t have to touch a thing:
