I'm glad this thread was revived, as it is timely for me. I just built a wheel with a 7403 hub. Someone led me to believe I could put a 10-speed cassette on. I succeeded, but it was tricky. The last cog stuck out a lot, and it was hard to put the lock ring on. I jiggled a lot to make sure everything was compressed, and eventually, it went on.
Are there lock rings with deeper threads that can make me feel safer? I know it's probably safe enough.
I know I'll need some weird-azz tool to remove the freehub. A friend of mine might have one already.
