Current setup:
Chorus groupset 50/34 with Chorus 12-29 cassette on Campy Zonda wheels. Chorus RD is short cage (non HO version)

Can these work or would I need to buy the new HO 'long cage' version of Chorus RD?

i) Shimano 11-30 or 11-32 on Bora One 35 (with shimano hubs of course)
ii) Bora One with campy hub with Potenza 11-32

How much are these freehubs?
Can I buy a shimano hub Bora One and just interchange with my Zonda freehub when I need?

The short cage mech you have should just about accommodate your new cassette.

The Zonda freehub is FH-BUU015 the Bora one uses a 12mm axle and uses the FH-BU015 freehub. Remove your freehub in the Bora if it is 12mm steel then these are the parts you need. I hold stock of these freehubs. Many other shops do as well.
Are sure about this?

Im checking Campagnolo Spare Parts catalogue:

https://www.campagnolo.com/media/files/ ... part_C.pdf

And i can see that Both Zonda and Bora use FH-BUU015

My Bora's one - 2010 - 2011 do have the 17mm axle and the FH Bo015X1 in my case because I run a Ultegra cassette on it.

thanks guys

It looks like the simplest way is to buy Bora One with campagnolo hub and use existing Chorus 12-29 cassette on it.

When I want to use a 11-32 for holiday, I would just have to pay that bit more for the Potenza 11-32 AND get the Chorus HO (medium cage), saves buying a freehub which cost around US$60+ anyway

got confused. It is the bullet one wheels that used the BU015 freehub. I should have checked my own notes on this rather than going by faulty memory. That why I write stuff down I should look at it.

The bora one does use the BUU015 freehub. The BO)15 is the alloy version.
