I have one of these..

IT's my spare wheel for the Whyte T130, but i also bought some QR endcaps so it could be fitted for my lad onto his Liv.
Now the Whyte is 10 speed, so needed different caps and also a cassette.
This all started as his cup and cone bearings had some play, so i thought "We'll fit the Superstar as it's cartridge bearings"
Removed the end-caps and fitted the QR caps no problem.. But when you do that the freehub comes off in your hand. No matter how much i push/press/force, it's not seeming to me like it stays on... So, what am i missing ?
As part 2 to this, when fitting the cassette i couldn't seem to get his 9 speed Shimano fitted, it's about 2mm taller than my 10 speed and therefore the threaded lock-ring doesn't get purchase ? However, Superstar state it as being 8/9/10/11. Am i missing something here then ?
All in all i've tightened his cup-cone bearings which resolves the issue... sort of..
I've got a 10 speed SRAM mech so i may just buy a shifter and set him to 10 speed anyway. But would be nice to know the answers.
Thanks for the replies (hopefully)
I used to have one, the freehub does just slip on and off, however once it's on the bike it's fine. I think mine came with a spacer that you put in behind the cassette so you can nip it up. I think you can buy them separately.
Having said all that the freehubs don't last long at all, got about 200 miles out of each of mine before they broke, it was replaced twice when they finally replaced it with an electro hub, which was fine.
Thanks buddy. Much appreciated. I'm going to go try the 9 speed again on it and see what I missed earlier.
Yeah my free hub just pops off as well, then jus pushes back on again. Only used it with 10 speed cassette so dunno about 9 speed.
Mines done a hell of a lot more than 200 miles though!!
Weird. 9 speed went on fine. Threw a tyre and some Stans in, we'll see how it does in 24 hours.
