  1. Can I fit a Shimano RX100 8 speed freehub body onto an Ultegra 6400
    hub? What about onto an Ultegra 6410 hub?

    Is there a quality difference between an RX100 freehub body and
    Ultegra freehub bodies?

    Except for Dura-Ace 6, 7, 8 and 10 speed hubs, freehub bodies for all
    generations and models of Shimano cassette hubs are interchangeable.
    For best results when mixing freehub and hubshell models, I encourage
    you to also match the RH cone, locknut and any spacers to its
    corresponding freehub body. By so doing, you ensure that the cone's
    seal matches the type of dustcap on the freehub body and that the
    distance from the outside of the right locknut to the freehub body is
    appropriate.

    I don't think there was a 6410 hub model. If this was a typo and meant
    to be 6401, it's covered in the paragraph above.

    They're not exactly the same, but I doubt you'd perceive any
    difference in use.
