Ritchey WCS wheels compability...
I've got a set of Ritchey WCS Protocol Wheels and tried to put a sram cassette on them tonight. The "Shimano" compatible hub didn't let the sram cassette fit. I thought that shimano and sram 10 speed hubs were compatible with both shimano and sram cassettes.
Tell me if I'm wrong and or just not smart enough to put a round peg onto a round hole.

Both of you are either trying to put it on wrong or the freehub or cassette was manufactured out of spec. No way Ritchey would build a freehub that was 10 speed only when there is no need to do so. The financial implications of negating SRAM are preposterous.
Send an email to Ritchey. They will respond back on the same day.

Get a Shimano 10sp cassette, it'll fit. The 10sp splines are better than the 9sp ones- they are deeper so they don't get notched as easily when the freehub body is made from aluminum.
