Subject: Junior gearing and 10 speed Dura-Ace hubs
Hello,

I've searched the group but can't find an answer to this. Hopefully I
haven't missed it or there is someone who can help or provide a
solution.

I'm helping out a junior rider who has an opportunity to get a set of
the Dura-Ace wheels with the new FH-7800. From this link...
http://bike.shimano.com/publish/content/cycle/sac/us/en/technical_service/compatibility_charts/road_compatibility.-MainContent-0003-DownloadFile.tmp/9_10sp%20cs_fh_wh%20compatibility.pdf.pdf

...they are not compatible with his 6600 Ultegra 10spd 14-25 cassette.
Does anyone have a solution to this? Does anyone else make a 14T outer
cog cassette that will fit? Is switching freehub bodies an option?

Cheers and thanks,
Ray

Update:

First of all thanks to all who took the time to help. Greatly
Appreciated!!

Although there were some suggestions that I wanted to try the winner
is....

Marten. "Can't remember whether Miche sprockets (they do a 14-23) are
deep spline."

Although I am sure some of your more resourceful solutions would work
after I read your post I contacted Donn Kellogg, the US Miche Rep, who
was very helpful and very quick to get back to me. We received 2
cassettes today and they fit and work perfect.

Once again, thanks for the brainstorming and suggestions.

Cheers,

Ray

Surely the other potential solution is a smaller large chainring?

I thought that was the usual junior solution, seen some juniors
running stuff like 39/42 to keep the highest gear under control.

no fun if you get a neutral spare with only a 14!, other way round works
a treat ;)

You looked in the correct place on the Shimano web site.
Thier answer is no.
I have looked around as well for the same solution. I didn't find a
off-the-shelf answer.
If you want to pursue it further I suggest you check with:

They do some machining of cassette and cogs. Thier prices for simpl
solutions are $48, so your requirements would likely cost more

I've heard in the past from some of the big boys at shimano, USA, that
some of the designs that come outta Japan are dumm. After a few beers,
this guy admitted', it's what the japanese wanted', and nothing is
gonna change their mind. Like 37mm headsets after a whole bunch of
32mm...making a whole generation of forks obsolete...10s only hubs,
but not all 10s, type stuff...All 3 companies have gaffs in their
design, campag's being dummed down 2007 Centaur and below, like Xenon
and really poor left shifters. Srams left shifter leaves a lot to be
desired as well along with aft only der housing..but I guess that's
gonna change. Would like to see Truvative make better cranks and BBs.
I have heard of more Force big rings being folded.

I stand corrected, haven/t really seen a 6600 14-25, and 'assumed'
shimano wouldn't have done something so...silly? Since they make a 14t
6600, like in the 12-23/5/7, why would they do such a thing?

Actually the OP (me) for lack of typing speed didn't bother typing
every unnecessary detail. I didn't want to waste the time of the
people willing to help with blah, blah, blah. The actual motivation is
not an image thing. The wheels are from a rider who has a new
sponsorship this year so cannot use these carbon Dura-Ace wheels.
Because the junior is a super nice kid they are being made available
to him for a great price as a way to help him out. So even if it costs
a few $ to make them work (freehub switch) it would still be more than
worth it. If it was an image thing I would have bought the wheels for
myself and used them for my non-racing recreational rides. I am not
very knowledgeable with equipment (I help him in my area of expertise
- for FREE) so I turned to this community for help. It does appear
this is (one of?) your area(s) of knowledge. So will switching to the
FH-7700 work on the WH-7801-Carbon Dura-Ace wheels? Is it possible to
make the switch, will it fit? If it will I promise I will take it to
someone with the knowledge and ability to do the work (because I know
I can't :) ) Thanks for your help!

Cheers,
Ray

afaik there is no substitute freehub, the DA hub is a unique design.
Theoretically it looks possible to turn down the splines to make a
standard cassette fit. The 14-25 has a massive sprocketcarrier, so I
wouldn't worry to much about denting the soft body with narrow cogs. But
I haven't a DA wheel around to check.
Can't remember whether Miche sprockets (they do a 14-23) are deep spline.

I've no experience with Shimano 10-speed, but I've noticed that the 7800
freehub body in Shimano's exploded diagrams appears to have shorter splines
for the first couple of positions:

http://www.paul-lange.de/produkte/shimano/support/explosionszeichungen_archiv/FH/FH_7800_05.pdf

http://www.donde-jose.com/portal/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/78f880a21d6384ef4360f5da6f4092b4.jpg

Would it be possible to use the 14 and 15 from the 14-25 6600 cassette, then
build up the remainder from other (tall-splined) 10-speed cassettes?

maybe:
get a 12-21
loose the 12-13 & 14
get a 14 endcog with the locking grooves and the splined pacer attached
fit the 7sp cassette with a bunch of spacers

or - this is the fun bit -try to add a 23 & 25. Shimano don't make tall
spline loose cogs, so you have to file your own from 9sp HG 70's. Or
turn down a 3 sprocket carrier to use the last two on the spider.

That's pretty retarded on Shimano's part. Of course there is no really
convincing agrument why anyone *needs* an aluminum freehub. The weight
difference isn't that big, especially in an era where people are
adding lead ballast to meet the UCI minimum weight.

The OP is already considering a freehub swap so the motivation is
clearly just an image thing. They could still get their DA fix by
using a FH-7700 (with the Ti freehub upgrade for even more racer
cred). One could also just cut a deeper slot in the cogs to make them
fit, or grind down the tall spline and put up with the notching of the
freehub. Now that I think of it, every pro running 7800 kit should be
grinding down their splines to save weight and make up a few
hundredths on their TTs.

You miss the point. This kind of feature explosion
makes buying used equipment an adventure. Buy a Dura
Ace rear wheel, and blam! the cassette on your shelf
does not fit. This was all clear in the thread, but you
chose to ignore it.

It's not an adventure - you can look into these issues beforehand.
It's not like they randomly change cassette specs.

What was clear? That ten-speed Dura Ace has unique demands on
cassette size? No, I'm aware of that and now the OP is too.

7800 wheels are 10s only, which means ANY shimano 10s cogset,
including the ultegra 14-25 or any 105 level 10s shimano cogset.
