11 speed cassette

[ayceejay]

My new 11 speed cassette won't fit on the freehub as it is supposed to. Sram say the cassette will only fit dedicated 11 speed freehub my LBS says otherwise, Truth is - it doesn't fit, so what is the cheapest way to fix this sproblem? The wheels are Vision Arenberg and the cassette PG1070.

You must mean PG1170 - and yes, lbs is wrong. An 11 speed cassette is wider, so it might be that it won't fit.

Cheapest way to fix it is getting the wheel rebuilt with a new hub or a new back wheel.

They aren't 11spd compatible

SRAM and Campagnolo, are a nightmare. You pretty much have to buy a freehub and cassette every time you need a new cassette.

Why?

Yes, do explain!

Why?

They are barstewards for changing the design of the cassettes subtly, so you can't get them on your existing freehub.

Examples please, as changes would surely mean that the SRAM cassettes I use wouldn't fit on the shimano freehubs they're on

I tried it on another wheel and it fits there so there is a difference in the freehub. 11 speed cassette needs an 11 speed freehub.

Uhh yeah and a 10spd cassette on an 11spd freehub (or basically any mavic wheel) will need a spacer

 

[ayceejay]

I know it sounds obvious but when you have been fed false information you have to see it to believe it.

 

[jack smith]

Sram are shimano compatible they fit on any shimano compatible freehub? But obviously an 11 won't fit on a 10 hub

Yes to both

Campagnolo 10 and 11 speed are the same size.

Some 10-speed wheels hubs, e.g. Mavic, have been built wide enough to require a spacer with a 10-speed cassette and will therefore take an 11-speed cassette without the spacer. Lots of other 10sp hubs are too narrow for 11sp.
