Ultegra Cassette on Dura Ace Hub?
Today I tried to replace a Duira Ace cassette (12-21, 8-speed) with an Ultegra cassette (11-21, 8-speed) on a Dura Ace hub. The Ultegra Cassette chattered on the hub (side-to-side play). A 1 mm shim took out the chatter but threw off the shifting. After playing with both cable tension and the b-screw adjustment, I concluded that the Ultegra cassette simply was not going to work and put the old Dura Ace cassette back on.
What the...????Are these cassettes supposed to be compatible? Am I missing something?
