I have been saving and wanting this wheelset for at least six months. It’s not the best or lightest, but it’s the best for the money. I have other Easton components on my bike, too, so I wanted to keep the theme. They are way lighter than my Mavic Cosmos at about 1575g, and have a 32mm rim and aero spokes for more aerodynamics. I was able to order them and receive them for my race on May 1st! Woo-hoo!
But what’s that? A nine speed cassette doesn’t fit on the hub? Only the Dura-Ace 10 speed cassettes fit…for $200 more? Oh, I would need to upgrade to a new 10 speed shift lever for $350?
Grrr………!!!
But! I can buy a SRAM hub that will fit a 9 speed cassette so that I can keep all the same compenents! All for about $40! Woo-hoo!! I can race White Lake with my sweeeeet wheels!!
Oh, but wait…back order? Six week deliver time?
Sniff….
Sometimes it’s better to laugh than cry.

Keep your head up. It’s all good.

Hi there. i have the same and i have a 10speed shimano Ultegra 6700. it fits ok now, but i have had problems, i could not put the small ring in the bottum, so it was not 100% fit. 2 days ago i put a small ring, so im waiting to see if it helped. But It seems that its more stiff now and fit.
But i dont understand why ONLY DURA ACE?
ultegra 6700 (11-23) should be the same..?

The bike mechanic at my local shop said it is because Shimano changed the hub to 10-spd dura ace only because they thought everyone would then have to upgrade and they would make more money. Now people hate Shimano for it. Including me.
