Hi, just got some Ritchey ds wcs wheels for my rain bike and immediately noticed the splines on the freehub are taller, my tiagra 10 speed cassette wont fit over. I then read online that there was a shimano 10 speed only freehub! My question is what cassette will fit these freehubs? I think i read somewhere 105,Ultegra and dura ace 10 speed but want to make sure before i buy.

Thanks Carl.

    Yes the difference is described in this link if you scroll down near to the bottom. There is an image with the 9/10 freehub and the 10-speed only alongside it. The 10-speed only has much deeper splines

    I seem to remember that it was Ultegra 10 speed cassettes that were compatible but maybe any 10-speed will work. It is probably that 9-speed cassettes cannot fit as they would on the shallower 9/10 freehubs.

    Perhaps some others can comment.
