fitting a 10 speed cassette

[HLaB]

I needed to buy a spacer for my 2nd hand Mavic Kysrium's so my 10sp cassette fitted and my Fulcrum 7s had one which came with the wheels as they have a 11sp hub.

When it comes to indexing there's a great video on youtube, where it explains clearly once you've set up your limit screws you never will have to again (and if they are currently set up correctly don't mess with them). Then all you have to do is concentrate on getting the chain to shift between the bottom two sprocket to index. If it doesn't shift properly through the block after that any problem is due to the cable/shifters and not the indexing.

Thanks. We decided to mitigate the risk of stuffing it up by taking it to the bike doctor. Sadly this does mean that at a time when we should be 80 miles into a ride we're sat at home by the phone

Pity its a beautifuly day in Peterborough; maybe somebody can post the youtube link before I can find it, so if it happens again you wont be stuck in. Its really good and dissolves all the back art/mystic and shows how simple it really is, irrc its a Leonard somebody who posted it.

Even to the point of going from 8sp to 9sp, I didn't need to adjust the limit screws though in theory I should as the 9sp cassette is 0.9mm wider than an 8sp one, though this did include a spacer for the 11sp freewheel hub (but it was already there for the 8sp), a 10sp cassette is 37.2mm wide 0.7mm wider than a 9sp one.

Sizes in mm's

I'm (not @Andrew_Culture, but @dktd) trying to fit a 10 speed cassette - Shimano 105, and the lockring just about locks on - but not very deep, and not amazingly securely. Someone on bikeforum says that, that's the deal (http://www.bikeforums.net/bicycle-mechanics/263170-10-speed-cassette-8-speed-hub.html) - the skewer keeps it on, too?

Is this normal? Is this how it should be - just barely fitting?
Is there a longer lockring to fit?

Ta,

@dktd

It's a faff Andrew, one that I have to contend with often several times per week in the racing season switching disc wheels to deep section carbon to training and to turbo wheels. Cassettes will vary slightly in width between 8, 9 and 10 speed and also sometimes between makes. The splines that the cassette slides on to also vary in length between different makes of wheel. Add to that, even when you have got the cassette on nice and tight the indexing often needs a small tweek to get it perfect.
It's worth having a play around with it though just to gain confidence and of course to save time and money. A turbo trainer is great for this, I sit on a chair directly behind and get dr_pink to twiddle up and down through the gears until it's running smooth. Not difficult at all once you have done it a few times.

Kind wish the bike wasn't elsewhere now

I was working on a friend's bike (which seems a bit mean!) but in the next few days I'm going to be transferring all my components onto a new frame so I still need to learn

Turns out it was a whole lot more than just a little bit of indexing:
