  1. My 10 speed American Classic cassette works well with my 9 speed DA 28
    hole rear hub laced to Open Pro rims. The only exception is when on
    the 25 (innermost) cog, the rear der cage rubs against the crossover
    point of the drive side spokes. I'm tempted to file down the rear der
    cage at that point since it seems to require about a millimeter extra
    tolerance. I've already adjusted the screw to the maximum allowable
    limit and still be able to shift to that cog.

    Has anyone else had this problem with this kind of setup?

    Thanks,
    John

    JS:

    Don't file your der - add a .5 mm cassette spacer between your 25t and
    the freehub. Also, before doing that, check that your der hanger to
    make sure it isn't bent.

    I suppose you could file your der, but that seems like such an extreme
    answer. The spacer is more elegant. And if your hanger is bent, just
    give it a tweak (if you have steel) and you won't have to do anything
    else.

  3. D'ohBoy is right, don't file it down, just add the spacer.
    Am Class cassettes usually come with the .5mm spacer.

    Are you referring to the spacer that comes on AC freehub bodies? If so,
    that one's a lot thinner than .5mm.
