I have a Ritchie DS WCS 6061 rear wheel with a hub that had a 10 speed cassette. I would like to fit a 9 speed cassette to it for use on another bike but the one I have wont fit. Does anyone know which 9 speed cassettes are compatible. Unfortunately there are no markings on the hub.

    ah ha my mate had the same problem !
    The WCS hubs have a larger flange for the cassette...as per shimano 10 speed Ultegra and above cassettes (ones with alloy holder for the last few rings). 9speed cassettes don't have the same profile so won't fit.
    10speed cassettes will fit 9speed hubs fine tho. Bit of a bugger I know as you can only use 10speed shimano
