Spacer on 10s SRAM + Ksyrium SL?
I am in the process of switching over from 9s Ultegra to 10s Force. I just put the cassette on my Ksyrium SL wheel and there is a little bit of play (I'd estimate it at 1mm or so). Do I need to put a spacer on the spoke side of the freehub body between the spokes and the 23t? If so, what is the spacer that I need. If not, how do I fix this? Thanks.

Mavic hubs need their own special spacer which goes on first before any cassette and/or other spacers such as the shimano 10 speed one.

MAVIC hubs (depending on vintage) usually have a 2 mm spacer to be used with 8, 9, 10-speed Shimano cassettes because MAVIC's proprietary cassettes are 2 mm wider. Shimano 10-speed cassettes (and I suppose SRAM) need a 1 mm spacer because they are narrower than Shimano 8 or 9-speed cassettes. So a Shimano 10-speed cassette on a MAVIC hub will probably need both the 2 mm and 1mm spacers.
