Mavic M10 cassette problem
I've just bought a new Mavic M10 10-speed cassette (Campag spacing) for a Mavic Cosmic Elite wheel, which has a Mavic-only freehub. The only way I can fit the sprockets apart from the 13/12/11 - is by reversing them so that the stamped 23, 21, 19 etc faces towards the spokes. This doesn't seem right, and the sprockets were mounted on the plastic carrier in the normal way, ie you could see the number of teeth as you normally can. The teeth are "profiled" ie set at an angle so I'm sure they are not intended to be run in reverse. I called Ribble (who supplied the cassette) and they tried one on an Askium wheel with the same result.
The old cassette was identical except for the teeth numbers being on the right side. Anyone know whether this is normal with an M10 cassette?

I do not have Mavic but I do have Marchisio which is the same sprocket format. I have been using tese for almost 5 years now.
The sprocket only fits with the number at the spoke side. The angle on the teeth is the same whichever way you try to fit it. Fit the sprocket one way, then take it off and turn it over and you will see what I mean.
I suspect thatt he reason the numbers were on the outside on the plastic carrier were simply because that is the way the factory assembled them to be able to read it as they did so.
From the above I'd say go ahead and fit them - as you ahve said "they only go on one way".0 -
Many thanks. I'm reassured.0
