Will a shimano XT cassette fit a 700C wheelset (Xero XR-1)?
Hi,
Not much more I can add to the title! Buying a pair of Xero XR-1s for my crosser to replace the lead weights it currently has
It came setup with an MTB rear mech (LX) and a heavy 9 speed MTB cassette. Will a MTB XT cassette fit on a the 700C Xero XR-1s? The site lists the hub as 'shimano compatble' S8/9 speed?
Thanks!

The only problem you may have is that original Shimano 10 speed hubs were narrower than 9 speed ones . There fore any 9 speed hub will take 8,9 and 10 speed blocks but 10 speed hubs will only take 10 or 8.
hope that helps rather than confuses0 -

8 speed cassettes definitely work on the cheaper R550 RS20? wheels0

and he answer is it will fit. with no issues.
all current Shimano MTB cassettes are the same fitting even the 7sp ones fit with a spacer.
Current shimano 10spd will also fit with another spacers.
the only ones that will not are the old shimano 10spd. designed to work with the alloy Shinamo body.
Also Sram use the same fitting as Shimano."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
