Default the Shimano 10sp/9sp alloy freehub problem again - a solution!

Our local American Classic rep came in to the LBS on Wednesday, and
showed us some new lightweight clinchers, which in itself was of no

*but*

He also showed us some shims for their 9sp alloy freehub to make it
work properly with 10sp casettes to avoid dig in like this :

We pressed him to see if AC would sell the shims as spare parts, and
he'll get back to us on it. But, it may be a hack to get around the
current problem with 10sp Ultegra & Dura-Ace cassettes on 9sp alloy
freehubs.


a shim won't do it - it doesn't bear the torque load.



A steel shim might. I'm going to see if it'll work on my bontrager
wheel before I risk it on my good wheels

a single spacer that makes up the difference in width between 9 & 10
speed cassettes won't make any difference to individual cog point
loading - there's no difference in torque transfer.
