Apparently everyone and his brother believe that you have to buy special "conversion" cassettes \to use Shimano or SRAM with Campagnolo.

As I've said several times now, the spacing on 11 speed cassettes is the same on all of these manufacturers so you can use any of these with their matching wheelsets to be able to shift one or the other. While the pull ratios of the levers are different using a Campy wheel and cassette with a Shimano lever and derailleur works just fine. I have several sets that you can simply swap wheels across.

Here is a good bike I'm selling that uses a Shimano 11 speed since good cheap and light Shimano compatible cassettes are very easy to find.
