Shimano 8sp STI to 10sp? OR 8sp cassette on new wheel?
I have the 8 speed Shimano Ultegra (600) STI groupo from the mid 90s,
mounted on a Kestral 200EMS. My wheels weigh a ton, and I want to get some new ones, likely the Easton Ascent II. I couldn't really care less about having the extra 4 gears, but all these new wheels have hubs for 10 speed cassettes. Will my 8speed cassette fit on those hubs? If not, what do I need to convert my bike to a 10 speed cassette? I'd obviously need at least a new rear derailer, and chain, but will I also need new STI levers? If so the idea is probably out... Thanks, David |

Thanks, An 8 Speed cassette should fit a 10 speed Shimano hub. http://sheldonbrown.com/k7.html#10cassettes -- Nigel Cliffe, Webmaster at http://www.2mm.org.uk/ |

Thanks, David Few(none?) aftermarket, non shimano wheels are shimano 10s ONLY. Most are fine with 8/9/10s cogsets. The Easton can accept your 8s cogset. |
