Need to order some wheels tonight, am looking at some Esdton EA90SL wheels, the place where i am abotu to buy them from describes them as shimano 10sp hub.
I am still on 9sp. If i remember rightly there is some compatibility issues there? or is the freehub body the same size and my 9 speed stuff will work.
Many thanks to those who reply quickly!!!!

Yes it will
There could be a issue if im not mistaken!
You can use a 10sp cassette on a 9sp hub by using a spacer, but im sure a 10sp only wheel wont take a 9sp cassette because its too wide!
Remember, 10sp is narrower than 9sp, you might be ok, but i wouldn't buy new wheels to try it out on!
Phone the shop
If it is a dedicated 10 speed hub then no you won't be able to fit a 9 speed cassette as the freehub body will be too short. Worth checking beforee you buy.
