Ugh so I have a SRAM cassette?!
I got bored and took my back wheel off my Trek 1500 which is a grab bag of 105,Ultegra and Tiagra. As I was cleaning the cassette for the first time i notice right on the black plastic ring on the front of it in big letters it said SRAM! What the hell? This bike was supposed to be all Shimano, I don't really care that its a SRAM product as much as it means i have SRAM compatible wheels right? So if I buy a new set of wheels I have to buy a new cassette if I want shimano compatible wheels, or am I totally wrong on this.

Yes. SRAM and Shimano wheels and cassettes are caompatible with one another.

sram has the same freewheel pattern as shimano. they are interchangeable. campy is different.
basically, you can get new wheels that say shimano compatabile, and they will work with you sram cassette. you could get a new shimano cassette, and they will work with your old wheels.
see sheldon brown's website for information on this.

My bike was supposed to come with all 105 but it ended up coming with 105 shifters tiagra FD ultegra RD ultegra octalink cranks a shimano chain and apparently a sram cassette. It's got the ultegra/105 where it counts.

Heh... that's kinda like mine right now except that yours is even more diverse. Mine's got 105 crank, FD, RD & shifters, Ultegra BB & chain, SRAM cassette.

yeah, nothing wrong with SRAM cassettes. The cheapest 10sp SRAM road cassettes are also way more expensive than 105 or ultegra too, so you're not losing out.
The only issue with sram cassettes would be if you got a 10sp only tall profile spline hub like DA-7800 had. You're in the clear with DA-7850 freehub or any other 8/9/10 freehubs with low profile splines.

It's probably a PG950 powerglide 9spd cassette. I used them with my old 105 setup on my cross bike for a while. Solid cassette - it'll keep the bike moving forward. Don't sweat it.

Mixing components is not uncommon. I've been looking at mountain bikes, and the Epic Marathon has a SRAM X.0 setup, except for the the FD which is Shimano. Seemed strange to me, but apparently the SRAM FD's have issues. I'm not surprised, as I have some with mine on my Tarmac

I've got a 1500 as well, and I didn't know I had SRAM on there. Nice to know they're compatible though.

It does, and no reason not to get one next time you replace your chain. They work fine on Shimano.

for 9sp shimano/sram drivetrain... sram 9sp chain is tough to beat.
but for 10sp... that performance/nashbar chain is a better deal.
