I just got a new Zipp 808 rear and the lockring on both a SRAM and a Shimano cassette are very tight to screw into the hub. Is this a normal thing for Zipp rear hubs? I just don't want to strip it.

I just got a 2009 808 and my Shimano lock ring screws in easily. Yours doesn't sound normal.

Could it need a Campy lockring? I have a set of Fulcrum racing wheels (Campy), and even though the hub body is splined for a Shimano cassette, the lockring thread is Campy.

Supposed to be Shimano. It's a red hub, the campy one's are blue.

Mine is a 2008 and I know they changed the hubs in 09.

Bump, anyone else's thoughts?

Have you put a 1mm spacer on the hub before putting the cassette on?

No the wheel didnt come with a spacer. Can I just one of the plastic ones from an old cassette?

Shimano cassettes come with the spacer.
no, the plasctic spacers between the cogs are too wide, Shimano 10sp cassettes come with a 1mm metal spacer that goes on the hub before installing the cassette. Your LBS should have one, and for what it's worth, my LBS gave me 2 at no cost as they had spares lying around the workshop.
