Afternoon all, I'm looking for some advice.
I've just bought myself some new wheels and they come with a brand new Shimano Ultegra 6600 10 Speed Cassette 12-25.
Now my bike at the minute is running an 8 speed SRAM PG850 12-26.

My first question is would the new 10 speed cassette work ok with my current setup?
Secondly would their be any real benefit of using this new casstte with it being a higher spec (lighter, hyperglide)?
Finally could I expect any changes regarding the different gearing (12-26 VS 12-25)?

Cheers

    A 10 speed cassette won't work with 8 speed gearing. You'll have to put the Sram cassette on and sell the Ultegra.
