Spare Campy Rear Wheel for Training

IanD said:

Currently I have a shimano 9spd rear wheel for use on my indoor trainer. I'll be changing the
freehub on my ksyriums to campy so that I can finally go to an all campy 10spd drive train
(switched from Ultegra to Record). But before I do that, I need to switch my indoor trainer wheel
to campy as well. What is the cheapest possible campy hub that would be compatible with a 10sp
cassette and chain ?

Current type Mirage (9/10sp). For the cassette: note that Veloce now has a 10sp option.

Can I use a 8spd hub ?

Not properly because the splines are different - although freewheel body can be changed 10sp
sprockets modified (painstakingly).

or does it have to be at the very least a 9sp hub ?

8sp is not worth bothering with for this case.

Models ?

Mirage, Veloce, etc. All Campag hubs that take 9sp cassettes can also take 10sp. Xenon doesn't have
a rear hub. AFAICT, Veloce is just a shinier version of Mirage.

Alternatively, a Shimano hub could be used with a respaced Shimano or Marchisio* cassette, using
just nine cogs if necessary. Or a 9sp Shimano cassette with Shimano derailleur:

If you already have the shimano wheel, chepaest solution is to get a
loose cog cassette such as 105 or Deore LX (you can remove the grub
screws that hold the seven largest cogs together) and a set of spacers
that replace the existing Shimano spacers to give you 9 cogs at
Campagnolo 10-speed spacing. See

Use your 9sp Shimano hub and cassette in the trainer with the Campy rear derailleur and shifters.
You just have to increase the cable tension about a turn and limit the inward motion of the rear
derailleur so that you don't overshift the 9sp cog.
