Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Hub compatability Q
Hi all,

I have an opportunity to buy a Mavic CXP 33 wheelset with a DuraAce 9-speed hub for a pretty good price. I currently have Mavic CXP 11 with a 105 12-25 cassette. Will the 105 cassette (also 9-speed) fit on the DuraAce hub? On a related note, is the DuraAce cassette significantly better than the 105 (i.e., should I just buy a new cassette?).

Thanks!
