cassette spacer question

jon1981 · 2016-05-22 20:51:59

Hi, I ordered a 105 5700 10spd cassette for a 11spd freehub. I believe a 1mm spacer is provided with the cassette. Do I need another spacer? cheers J

Yes. Was there not one provided with the wheel?

Annoyingly no! Well not that I could see, actually the last set of wheels I ordered didn't have a spacer included either.

You need a spacer alright. I don't know how wide it is but afaik it's wider than the 1mm one. Can't really do without it.

That'd sound right. The 1mm comes with the 10spd cassette so you're looking for a 1.85mm.
