Just use your Campy 11 speed cassette. It will work fine.

Only black or gray hubs can be made Shimano/SRAM 11. Silver hubs cannot.

True, but on the long run, that is a expensive solution. Campy cassettes cost twice the price as shimano cassettes.

I run 9070 di2, and that cassette sure makes some crappy noises when climbing, so maybe a record cassette is better, and the price is the same?

I ride 9070 as well. And I used to have a campy body on my Chris King hub racing wheels. When I switched to Shimano body and mounted a Shimano cassette, the noise desappeared.

Another vote for just using a campy 11spd cassette. Chorus would be fine.

Two more slightly cheaper options with Campagnolo splines are

Miche Primato Cassette Campagnolo 11 speed

and

BBB BCS-11C Cassette Campagnolo 11 speed

A Shimano freehub costs around A$200, Ultegra cassette A$60 and a Chorus cassette A$120. The Shimano cassette option only becomes cheaper after the 4th cassette (5th if the OP already has one). I suspect most people would be unlikely to wear out just one cassette on their 404 as they only use them as race wheels.

I mix and match Campy 11 and Shimano 11 on my various 11 speed bikes. No issues. Some are Di2 as well.

Is the Campy cassette old and you're using it on a new Shimano chain? That could be the noise issue.

It was my old 9070 di2 (9000) cassette i meant, thats the one who is creaking. Just put on the chorus cassette on the zipps, and everything just works even with an old dura ace chain! So i'm happy. But should i go with a dura ace chain? or a campagnolo chain? When the cassette is campagnolo and the rest is di2 9070?

^ old chain and new cassette is a really bad cocktail. Would you mind measuring the chain wear with a vernier? I wouldn't ride that combo if the chain is as little as 1/4 % worn.... Chorus cassettes are quite expensive.

I don't attend to drive it that way :-) Just tried it on the work stand.

So my next question is - Dura Ace Chain or Campagnolo chain for NEW campy cassette and NEW dura ace chainrings on 9070 Di2 :-) ?
