Hi All
Got a pro4 boost hub with a 10 speed cassette on it currently. Just in the process of swapping to an 11 speed one.
As i understand even though hope use an 11 speed body you still need a spacer at the back.
Should i use the same one from the 10 speed.
Only reason i ask is that i'm not convinced i have that much thread of the lock ring in the hub body once the old spacer is in and its done up tight (cassette rings seem tight though)
Cheers
Pat
9sp, 10sp and 11sp are the same size when considering MTB cassette widths on the freehub body. The spacer should only be removed if you're using a road cassette.
so same spacer it is then!
Thanks, good info 🙂
The label on the bag containing the spacer that came with my Hope 4 Boost hub reads as follows:
"Use this spacer when fitting a 9/10 speed cassette or XT-M8000/XTR-M9000 (11 speed) Cassette"

I guess they printed those labels before the SLX-M7000 cassette was released. I tried leaving it off when I fitted mine, but it definitely needs it 😳

nice! Thanks
(erm hopefully the spacer that was already behind my old cassette is the right one - i'm going to assume so and press onwards)
