    You need the Mavic spacer, doesn't matter about speed

    as above you have an M10 body so you need the Mavic spacer that should have come with the wheels as new to allow you to use any shimano cassette.

    if using a shimano higher level road cassette you would need the mavic spacer and the shimano spacer.
