Spacer when fitting 10 sp cassette..

[potsy]

..are they needed in all cases?

I am currently trying to fit a Tiagra 10sp cassette onto a Shimano 9/10 sp Ultegra wheel, seems OK without a spacer, tightens up well but am reading that they are needed.

Just looked at my spare cassette (brand new still in packaging) and it has no spacer either

Help please.

Spacer if required would come with the wheels.

That's what I'm hoping C, but the destructions definitely mention a spacer if using a 10sp cassette

10 speed you say?

Tiagra you say?

Just so happens I fitted one of these the other day. If you have a look at the back of it there are some studs that sit proud, by about 1mm.

Seems the space has been replaces by the studs. I coudnt get the lockring on with the spacer, but with it removed it sat right and needed no adjustment of the rear derailier from a 105 10 speed with the spacer.

I did see the studs but hadn't made the connection, cheers Paul

Just back from a 12 mile test ride, nothing fell off so I will call that success

I needed a spacer for a 10sp cassette on Mavic; it never came with the cassette and the wheels were 2nd hand only after doing the Tour of Flanders did I realise

There is a spacer with my 105 cassette.

I can't afford to go that high in the range

Ah well I stock pile thinks like cassettes and chains when they are on offer, you can often pick up the 105 cassettes when they are on offer for less than the so called cheaper stuff.
