Changing Wheels and getting the spacers right

Hi Folks,

The last couple of times that I've changed/upgraded my wheels or cassette I've run into problems with spacers behind the cassette - not knowing how much I need and gears no longer being indexed correctly. I've got a new bike on the way that has basic wheels, and want to put my Mavic Kysrium Elites on instead. Currently they've got a Sram Force 10 speed cassette, but will most likely use the Shimano 105 cassette that will come with the bike.

Before I swap over - is there anyway of knowing how to get it right? Measure and compare the 2 hubs and cassettes? Or are all hubs the same, so just need to use the spacers and cassette that comes with the new bike?

If that made any sense - any help appreciated!
