Shimano 8- 9- 10-speed compatibility?

[Thomas David Kehoe]

I just picked up a used pair of Spinergy Rev-X 8-spoke carbon fiber mountain
bike wheels. The wheels came with a Shimano 8-speed cassette. Can I replace
this cassette with a 9-speed cassette? I checked the catalogs and I see
7/8-speed Shimano hubs, 8/9-speed Shimano hubs, and 8/9/10-speed Shimano
hubs...this is a bit confusing!

Checking the Spinergy website, they discontinued the Rev-X in 1999. They say
that the Rev-X used an Ultegra 8-speed freehub body.

Yes. You can also use a 10-speed cassette.

Yes, since Spinergy began, they were all, 8s HG, road or MTB, so they
are all hyperglide and shimano compatible...for 7/8 or 9s or even 10s,
if ya had 10s MTB shifters.

Could you explain that again, in full sentences? Are you saying that I could
put a 9-speed or 10-speed Shimano cassette onto this wheel? I tried putting
a 9-speed cassette on but the smallest cog didn't have enough "bite."

Aren't all 9 speed Shimano mounted with a retainer ring and not the cog?

That wheel was made as a shimano hyperglide, 8s freehub body, to accept
a shimano 8s cogset. shimano 9s and 10s cogset spline pattern didn't
change so you can put a shimano 9s or 10s cogset onto that wheel.

_ I vaguely remember something on Sheldon Browns site about if
you use 9-spd cassettes on an 8 spd hub you have to use a
cassette with a small cog 12t or bigger.

if you use an 11t on some early '8s' freehubs, the shoulders of the 11t
prevents the cogset from getting tight but adding a 1mm spacer onto the
freehub first eliminates this problem.
