Hi all

Just a quick question - have a new Hope 35W rear wheel here. Running a 10 speed SRAM with it. Took the cassette of the old one and installing it to the new. The new wheel came with a little baggy with a black ring inside - says "use this spacer when fitting a 9/10 speed cassette or 11speed" - should the spacer go on to the freewheel hub first and then the cassette right?

Thanks!

The freehub is wide enough to take an 11speed road cassette (which are a touch wider). The spacer removes this gap for any 'normal' width cassette (including 11 speed MTB). It should go on first closest to the spokes.
