Bought some new wheels
Changing cassette over from old to new
Is it correct that i use the back spacer that came with the wheel and not the spacer that was on the old wheel?

    Yes.

    There should be a thickish spacer (3mm or so) with the wheels, which you need to fit a Shimano or SRAM cassette onto a Mavic M10 hub (Aksium, Ksyrium or Cosmic)

    Plus there should be a thinner spacer (1mm or so) which comes with a Shimano 10sp cassette.

    If you were fitting a 8sp or 9sp cassette, you'd just need the thicker Mavic one, but as you're fitting 10sp, you need both.
