Ultegra/Dura-Ace

has anyone tried to place a ultegra 9 speed cassette on a Dura-Ace hub
I'm looking to have a wheel build done when I decide who is going to do
the build!
I would like to use dura-ace hubs and place my 9 speed 6500 cassette on it

I did that several years ago. No problem. I assume you have a 9-speed
Dura-Ace Freehub.

wiggles

I think that will be a problem.

With only a single exception, all Dura-Ace 9 and ten speed hubs will

Oops, that should read "6500 series cassette".

The exception is the model FH-7800
(first generation ten-speed model, identified by its aluminum freehub
rotor body with tall splines) which fits ten-speed cassettes only.

The FH-7800 was subsequently replaced by the FH-7850 and then FH-7900,
both of which are backwards-compatible with 9-speed cassettes.

Agree, except for that DA 7800 rear hub, all Shimano cassette rear
hubs should be able to fit 8, 9 and 10 speed cassettes. In fact, some
can even fit 7 speed cassettes (although you might need a spacer or
special lockring). So run DA cassettes with 105/tiagra hubs or visa
versa. Its all works. Good Luck!
