[Closed] Compatibility: 10-speed SRAM / Shimano

Good evening. Can anyone assist with a daft problem?

Shimano Deore FH-M475 VIA-M hub with the standard freehub as supplied. I am trying to fit a SRAM Apex (road) 10-speed cassette.

Everything engages fine, but it is very obviously not going to do up tight with the lock-ring screwed up. It'll do, but there's massive slop.

SRAM cassettes are definitely compatible with Shimano freehubs in general. Have I got a fundamental problem with 10-speed / 9-speed compatibility? Or is there some cunning adaptor-widget of some sort needed?

Any help greatly appreciated at this stage! ๐Ÿ™‚

Thanks

Jon

Not sure this helps but Shimano 10 spd road cassettes have a tiny thin washer that fits behind the cassette. Not sure if SRAM needs the same.

Yes, that sounds like the right general idea. Hmmm. Definitely don't have one... ๐Ÿ™‚
