Jeff, thanks for the advice, I must clarify that I am usuing the same rims and spokes and switching out the hubs. I now believe this to be okay (read a response to the same question by Jobst Brant saying if they are new and you are confident they have low miles it should be okay). However, my task is significantly more difficult as I will have to remove all the spokes and keep them separated into leading and trailing RS and LS and be sure to put them back in the position and be sure to relace the used campy hub such that leading and trailing are in the same postions are the original lacing.... Now I am looking at a couple evenings worth of work.
thanks
