The 11T cog doesn't have the splines running all the way through, so it won't fit all the way on to a "standard" body.
The C type bodies have the outer end beveled, so the 11T can fit all the way on..
So since that ad at http://www.loosescrews.com/index.cgi...d=689537919823 says that the HG41 7 speed Cassette listed 'Fits all Shimano 7 speed hyperglide cassette hubs' does that mean all Shimano 7 speed hyperglide cassette hubs are compact ones, ie Hyperglide-C hubs? Because, as you say, standard bodies, ie Hyperglide (no C) hubs won't accept an 11T cog.

I found it even cheaper at Amazon at $12.45: http://www.amazon.com/Shimano-HG41-S.../dp/B005QSFE5W
