Help establish wheel compatability
I am looking at some used wheels locally, and they have the following description of the Phil Wood hubs:
"Rear has a Sachs Freewheel that is 8 speed and can be used for both Shimano and Campy. Currently, the cogset is Campy. With the Campy setup, it is backward compatible for a 9 speed, not sure about 10."
a later email describes these as
"they are compatible with
anything pre 10 speed. They are currently Campy, but
a new cogset makes them compatible with Shimano."
Can i simply slap a 9 speed HG cassette onto this and go? Or will I need a special adapter? Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Short answer: No, you can't.
Details: The hub you reference is of the type that only accepts the old style threaded freewheels. It is not a cassette hub, and won't take a cassette. This is apparent in the part of the discription that goes "Rear has a Sachs Freewheel that is 8 speed..." I don't believe 9s freewheels were ever manufactured. Even 8s weren't exactly common. The OLD (over locknut dimension) may be smaller than the current 130mm road bike standard, as well.
