Hello,

I own a Campagnolo Bora Ultra wheelset (2008 maybe), the ones just before the introduction of the Bora Two. They are now Campy compatible, having a FH-BO015 freewheel body. I´d like to sell this wheelset, but I don't know if they can be converted to Shimano HG 11 sp, since newest Boras hub body is different from mine. In pre Shimano 11 sp days, installing a WH-KX2 would have did the trick, but that freewheel body is not, afaik, 11 sp compatible. I'd like to know if a FH-BO015X1 (Shimano SRAM 9-10-11 sp) freewheel body will fit in my rear wheel. Any thoughts?

Thank you

I have original Bora Ultras, 11sp Shimano converted with official freehub coming from Campagnolo, can't name the part number though as I ordered it through my local LBS, didn't look for it myself.

Found the box in my spare parts bin with the old freehub in it :D

The box says FH-BUU015X1, HG 11/10/9 FW body f/alu axle. Hope this helps.

So old Bora Ultra body hubs are compatible with 2015 Eurus, Shamal, Bullet and the like body hubs, but not anymore with 2015 Bora body hubs.

If you're running 11-speed, you don't need to change the freehub. Campag and Shimano 11-speed spacing is as close to the same as makes no difference. Obviously ultralight Campag cassettes are a lot more expensive, but you have to factor in the freehub cost.
