I just bought a Mavic Ksyrium Equipe for Campy wheelset from my LBS. The Mavic cassette lockring (aluminum) has a diameter of 3.73cm and does not allow the chain to fully engage the 11 tooth gear (Campagnolo Centaur 10 spped group). Instead, the chain (Wippermann stainless steel) rides on top of the lockring, jumping in and out of gear. The original Campy lockring (steel) has a diameter of 3.505cm and works fine on the Equipe. My LBS stated that I have to use the Mavic lockring. Is there a smaller Mavic Ksyrium Equipe lockring for the Campy 10 speed groups? (I checked Mavic's website but they don't seem to have an email address or phone number listed)

<OT> Strange. And you sure got me going now. I just went and measured my Veloce and Record lockrings and found them both to be ca. 3,8 cm in diameter. These work fine down to 12 teeth IME. Haven't tried 11 tooth cog though (because I just can't push that kind of gear). </OT>
Funny that Campagnolo have the larger lockring, on Record hub. Does this mean that one has to buy a special lockring, even for Campag, if going down to 11 tooth?
No, the smaller (11t) lockring comes with the 11-X Campy cassette.

Your bike shop should know this. You need a first gen Campagnolo lockring for 9s.
