105 Cassette...

[Sittingduck]

I can use a 105 cassette on a Tiagra hub can't I? Still, 130mm and it doesn't make any difference does it, other than quality and weight, etc?

You can, and you won't notice any difference at all.

SPA website tells me:

Description

Quality handbuilt wheels using Shimano Tiagra 8/9 speed hubs and choice of rims. Built using double butted spokes throughout except on the driveside rear where plain gauge are utilized for strength.

The Tiagra rear hub has an OLN of 130mm



Do we think that it's just a case of them trying to get folk to buy 105 hubs, if they 10 speed? I will phone them tomorrow morning to confirm!

It'll fit, trust

I've just put a 105 12-27 cassette on a wh-r500 wheel, just remember to put the 1mm shim on first that comes with the cassette. The wh-r500 is supposedly Tiagra level, it all works lovely

Thanks all

I ordered a set of Rigida Chrina on Tiagra hubs from them at lunchtime Today. Oh and a new 105 11-28 cassette from the CRC sale this evening
