You forgot to put on the spoke protector you always use on the drive side? :p

[dirtdigger88]

you can do better than that- Louis . . .

Alright, this is my official guess: Funky spoke pattern on the non-drive side?

[dirtdigger88]

nope-

Ok, I'll guess, from the other side of Missouri, the hub looks rather Campy like??

[yeehawfactor]

whatever's between 8 and 9?

[dirtdigger88]

not campy hubs- they are in fact dura ace 7800s

What's the secret to getting 9spd on the "10spd only" 7800's?

a qualified wheelbuilder who owns a lathe

like our serotta-pal Jeremy . . .

and yes that is a regular 9 speed dura ace cassette-

Long live Shimano 9 speed...................

:beer:

[LegendRider]

That's a lot of work to run 9sp...

That's a lot of work to run 9sp...

not really- it didnt take jeremy long to do the work- and he did not (IMHO) charge much to do it-

this allows me to get the benifits of a kick @ss set of hubs and still be able to run 9s- so I can mix and match my wheels among all my bikes-

he will be building a set for Deerfield soon- DA10 hubs on Mavic P-R rims- so I can then run a MTB 9 speed cluster-

again- I think we are in the "why did the chicken cross the road" area here

why did I do it- why not? I can still run 10s- and 8s . . . . you get the idea

Jeremy can do almost anything with wheels , Karens new wheelset is going to be here Monday and I will have her bike finished this week and ready to ride on her Birthday on the 10 th, photos and details on Jeremy's wheel build to follow.

Jason, as always cool stuff

nice work Jeremy

Brilliant really because for a far smaller price you get a host a wheelsets that work without having to deal with compatibility issues and lack of versatility---or the consequent costs of an "upgrade" to 10. Nine worked best across Campagnolo/Shimano cassettes too: I rountinely use either cassette with 9, no no no no problem. Good thinking.

Great stuff! Have you seen what NOS 9-speed DA hubs are going for on Ebay? $$$

Does anyone have photos of what the hub looked like before surgery? Is this something I could do with a Dremel?

Im not thinking so- the Dremel that it-

the freehub looked the same- the splines were just taller

scroll down the page here- they show the cassettes- looks like you are talking 1mm off each spline- good luck!!!

Yet another day I can pat myself on the back for owning a lathe - woohoo!

[billrick]

I've done some nifty things with a Dremel, but there is no way I'm attempting that one! Thanks for the link to Sheldon's site, it all makes sense now.

"Hey, hon, I'm going to Sears for a new lathe. Back soon."
