SRAM red 11-25 casette and shimano DA back wheel
so I slipped the cassette over the driver of the hub like says in the instructions leaflet but there's a 3-5mm space on the driver which obviously allows the cassette to move back and forth.
1) I'm guessing I need some kind of spacer? there isn't one in the box...
2)Why does it not fit exactly in the first instance?
3)Where do i get spacers from?
Ta.

If your wheel is 9-speed compatible then it will have a slighlty wider freehub body, to accomodate a 9-speed cassette that is a couple of mm wider. You will need a 10-speed cassette spacer that you should be able to pick up from you LBS, they won't be very expensive.
There won't be one in the box as SRAM don't supply them with there cassettes. I am not sure whether Shimano do or not, but I know Shimano make them as I have bought a couple of Shimano ones.0 -
Thanks Roadracedave
Does it matter which end the spacer goes?0 -
No problem
Yeah, it needs to go behind the cassette, between the cassette and the hub flange. You won't be able to tighten the lockring if you put it on the outside edge of the cassette!0 -
Great, thanks.0

You will find them cheaper - usually just under £2 (or even a quid). It is a 1mm spacer. If you really want to avoid paying that much, you can use a smallish sprocket from an old cassette (small enough not to interfere with the teeth of the largest sprocket on your cassette) but these are thicker than 1mm (around 1.6mm - 1.85mm). This is usually OK for fitting the locknut but you may well have to tweak your mech and cable to get good indexing, and you'll have to do that each time you change wheels.
Probably worth the couple of quid for the spacer.0
