Subject: Shimano cassettes
I just got a bike with a Shimano Ultegra ten speed drive train. I am
experienced with Campagnolo components but have little knowledge of Shimano.
I noticed that the locknut on the cassette is tight but the cogs still move
around. Is this normal or is there a spacer missing? With Campy the cogs
don't move at all.

Make sure the locknut is on straight - sometimes it can be off enough
that the cassette moves around even though you think the nut is tight.

A 1 mm spacer is required when CS-6600 (except junior type) with a 8/
speed freehub (FH) and FH-6600. Many think that the CS-6600 work
correctly on the FH-6600 without the 1 mm spacer,,,.... so they leave i
out. If this is the combination you have, you need the 1 mm spacer

I have never used a 10-speed but plenty of 7, 8, and 9-speed Shimano
cassettes and when correctly assembled there is no play at all.
