Subject: 9 spd vs. 10 speed Posted by: sam on December 10, 2005 at 20:54:01:

Message: My gf's wheels have seen better days and she's in the market for some new ones. Due to her tastes, they have to be silver. I know, but she's pretty strong so I don't give too much crap! My question is: Is the Shimano WH-R600 compatible with a 9 speed drive train? I've checked there site and quite frankly it confuses me. It says "10 spd only", but their tech compatibility chart makes me wonder. Evidfently there are some hubs that won't accept 9-spd. Anybody try it or know for sure? Thanks.. WH-R600
