I'm plan to install a 9-sp cassette with an 11T cog on my wife's bike. I didn't think that was going
to be complicated until I read about Hyperglide "C" systems on Sheldon's "Kah Sept" page. It seems
that a special Hyperglide "C" freehub body (with splines that don't extend to the end of the body)
are required to accomodate an 11T cog. Otherwise, a 1 mm spacer has to be added.
Then, I looked at Shimano's site, and it appears that the splines on all their modern freehubs don't
extend to the end of the FH body.
Then, in the case of the Sora Freehub, Shimano implies that an 11T cog MUST be used.
Questions:
1) Can a 105 or Ultegra freehub accept either an 11T or 12T outer cog without a spacer (assuming
that the appropriate lockring is used?
2) Why does the Sora freehub require an 11T? Will it not accept a 12T?
Thanks, Art "hyper confused" Harris
