Bicycles Asked by mymywhatisthis on February 6, 2021
I have a 10 speed bike, and I bought a new cassette CS-4600 12-30
I am just confused. I’m not sure what kind of rear-wheel I should get for the new cassette that I bought. I am planning to use it mainly for indoor biking/zwifting.
I would really appreciate it if someone can tell me if all 700c wheels with a ‘freehub’ are compatible with the cassette that I bought.
Also my bike has quick release front, and rear as well.
TLDR: All modern 700c road wheels with a freehub will take a 10 speed cassette.
There is a difference between 10 speed compatible and 11 speed compatible hubs. Road 11 speed drivetrains require a slightly wider freehub, 10 speed cassettes are mounted with a appropriate spacer.
There are older hubs with narrower freehubs that that are only compatible with 7 speed cassettes.
It’s strange that you are asking about fitting a wheel to a cassette. I’m suspicious that you have a ‘classic’ 10 speed with 5 gears on the hub and a double crank. (In more modern terminology ‘speeds’ refers to the number of sprockets in the rear.) You cannot fit a modern freehub wheel into a frame designed for a 5 speed freewheel hub. Older frames have 120 or 126mm spacing, modern frames 130 or 135mm.
