Dr_hush1417 said:I have the same problem right now, just a very slight movement back and fourth, and a friend (mechanic) of mine said all I need is another small spacer between the hub and the cassette, on the innermost side, so I just got that part in today and will let you know if putting it on fixes the problem.
Veloblue said:Thanks! I think I need the Shimano 1 mm spacer betwen the gear and the wheel.
alienator said:Your LBS should be able to help you out with that.
FWIW. Well, this is probably stating the obvious, but a Shimano 600 cassette would be an 8-speed cassette & a 6500 cassette would be a 9-speed cassette.Veloblue said:I recently replaced my old Shimano 600 rear cassette with a 6500. When the lock ring is torqued tight, there is still play. I have spacers between each of the free gears. Should there be a spacer between the largest gear and wheel?

Did you change to 9-speed indexed shifters?
BTW. If you are handy, you can cut a washer from a milk jug's plastic cap & insert it between the smallest cog & the lockring.
Oh, if you have a 10-speed Shimano Ultegra cassette, then it is a 6600 or 6700 cassette (vs. 6500) AND you definitely need an additional spacer (which should have been included with the cassette) because the 10-speed Shimano cassette is narrower than the 8-and-9-speed Shimano cassettes.Veloblue said:I haven't changed shifters yet. So, I have 8 speed shifters with a 10 speed cassette (I also put a new crank and 10 speed chain on). The chain fits and moves between gears fine - I just can't switch through all 10. Shifters will come in time but this works. I rode ~90 miles with the cassette a little loose and it was just fine when there was resistance/pressure from the chain.
curby said:If you have time (and memory) could you give a detailed report of what 8sp shifters can do on a 10sp cassette.
do you run all the lower cogs or the 8 upper ones with the der stop screwed way in?
thanks

alienator said:That's my question, too. There should still be a lot of 7, 8 spd cassettes out there for the Shimano crowd. If nothing else, they can be had at Harris Cyclery, and they only cost a few pesos.
