Hello,

Im looking at buying some Fulcrum Racing 5 wheels with Shimano hubs but i cant find any information about if they will accept an 8 speed cassette...on the Fulcrum website it only mentions them being 10-11 speed compliant. But when you open the 'users manual' it says they are 8,9,10 speed compliant...but not 11 (not that i want to use 11spd but the front page says 10-11). Anybody know if these will work with my 8 speed cassette?

    They should... as long as your cassette is HG (hyper glide)... actually even if it is prior to HG it might fit on the newer splines... can't remember which way round it is... anyway, the answer is yes

    All HG splined hubs are 8/9/10 speed compatible. You could even run 7 speed witha spacer if you want.
