Confused on cassette spacers
Hey guys,
I checked out the cassette spacer thread in the FAQ but i'm still a tad confused so please bear with me.
I've got some Dura ace C24 9000's on the way. The tech blerb on the site says:
So for my shimano 10 speed cassette on my old wheels, i'll need a spacer. After doing some research I've read conflicting suggestions of using a 1.1mm or a 1.85mm spacer. Is there a set spacer size i should be using or is it more "play it by ear"? If so, how do i gauge the fit?
The last thing i want to do is damage my shiny new wheels with my limited mechanical abilities.

10 and 11-speed compatible freehub for use with cutting edge Dura-Ace CS-9000. (10 Speed spacer no included)

My understanding is that for 10 speed you use both the 1 mm 10 speed spacer and the 1.85mm spacer provided.

Not seen that before. Hopefully the OP already has the 1mm spacer anyway so the additional 1.85mm is all they need to purchase.0

Shouldn't need to buy the 1.85mm spacer, it is supposed to be included with the 9000 C24s. All mine did

1.85mm apcer + 1mm spacer to run 10 speed on 11 speed freehub.http://www.thecycleclinic.co.uk -wheel building and other stuff.0

yes- both the 1.85mm and 1mm are required.
It does mean the chain runs close to the chainstay when on the smallest cog however0
