9 speed Ultegra cluster vs 10 speed Durace cluster
I have 10 speed Durace on my race bike.
I have a set of spare race wheels with a 9 speed Ultegra cluster. Is it practical/possible to use the 9 speed Ultegra wheel from the wheel wagon or do I need to cash out for a second Durace cluster ? |

Steve asks- I have 10 speed Durace on my race bike.

BRBR I answered-" no. You need a 10s cogset. You can a American Classic 10s cogset or 6600, as soon they are available".

And 10s Dura Ace will fit on most 9s freehubs. Some limitations with certain wheelsets but for the most part, it works. -- Weisse Luft |

Yes, if you install a 10 speed cassette on your spare wheel. See: http://sheldonbrown.com/harris/10 We're still waiting for the Ultegra 10 speed cassettes to come in, but=20 we have Dura-Ace and IRD in stock. Any of these will work on any=20 Shimano 8- or 9-speed hub, though the versions that top out with an 11=20 tooth may require minor modificaton of older hubs.

At no cost you can put the 9sp wheel into the 10 sp bike and attach the rear derailleur cable to the top of the cable mount screw. Needless to say, if you had Campy 10 you could shift the Shimano 9 and 10 along with Campy 10. |

One problem I've encountered--with 9sp Shimano-compatible lightweight wheels
that use aluminum freehub bodies, the 10sp Shimano cassettes "dig" into the splines because of fewer contact points. They dug so deeply into a set of my wheels that I had to use a screwdriver to pry off the cassette, then file down the deformed metal. The Shimano compatible10sp wheels apparently have taller splines to prevent this. Rick "Weisse Luft" wrote in message ... And 10s Dura Ace will fit on most 9s freehubs.
