Campy 9/10 hub/cassette compatability problem
So i've been piecing together a Campy 9 speed setup for my Colnago for some time now. It's almost done but I might have hit a problem. I have:
a 10 speed rear wheel with a mirage 10 speed hub. The wheel came with a 10 sp cassette on it so I know that's what it is.
I purchased a brand new veloce 9 speed cassette. I went to install it onto this hub this evening only to find that the hub body seems to be a few mm's too short. The lock ring won't thread on. I made sure the cogs where on correctly and the spacers where all there.
Why the heck wouldnt a 9 speed cassette fit on a 10 speed hub? Something isnt adding up and I don't get it...
Any of you have experience with this stuff?

You sure the lockring diameter matches the freehub body? Try it without the cassette.

Do you have the cassettes all with the tooth count facing outwards? Spacers in proper position? (they are position specific)
This is clearly operator error, you are doing something wrong if a 10 speed cassette fits and a 9 doesn't.

Generally I'm with OFG - these have always slipped right on for me when everything is lined up the way it needs to be.

I figured it out and it of course was indeed operator error. I thought I'd tried both lock rings but I hadnt (they look exactly the same..almost). I needed to use the 10 speed lock ring on the 10 speed hub. The 9 speed lock ring that came with the new cassette is a little less than one mm smaller in diameter and doesnt thread into the hub. Problem solved.
So if this is ever any help to someone, 10 speed campy lock rings dont thread into 9 speed campy hubs apparently. By the way, the 9 speed lock ring is marked as such where as the 10 speed lock ring has no indication with speed it came with.

By the way, I think later 9 speed lockrings came in 27.0. Your "new" Veloce cassette must have been old stock with 26.0 diameter lockring threads.

on my work bench. It's a 26 large tooth cog i think but it might be a 23. It would work nicely on the NC coastal plain...you have my email.
that's probably why I got it for $50.
