Any ideas chaps?

Is supposed to be a shimano freehub, but my Sram cassette is not going on. Also tried a Tiagra one I had laying around.

It seems to stop at that bridge point

    Lined up the thin spline with the thin gap on the cassette?

    Is it a new wheel, what make/type, I take it you ordered a Shimano compatible one, those splines do look a tad tall. Can you not check with the supplier to see if they have not sent you a Campy wheel by mistake?

    It's a Corima aero+ wheelset.
    This is the freehub, looks exactly the same, says Shimano...but not working.

    Well, just seen this one...

    Perhaps it's not SRAM compatible then? By why the Tiagra 4600 doesn't work?

    Just read on a review that...

    "One last note on the freehub: the Shimano pattern incorporates taller spines that are compatible with newer Shimano cassettes that have alloy carriers (ie 105 and above), but not SRAM red or cheaper/older Shimano cassettes lacking carriers."

    There is a post on here somewhere which details the difference between the 10sp only freehub and the 8/9/10sp freehub. You want the 8/9/10sp freehub wheel, shouldn't be a problem to swop it seeing as you haven't used it.

    10sp only freehub

    SRAM won't fit, it doesn't handle the deeper splines, get a 105, Ultegra or DA cassette
