dibs wheelset 26. does it accept 9 speeds cassette?
No, the freehub body is too narrow. Cassettes got wider when they went from 7 to 8-speed and then the sprockets and spacers got narrower to maintain the same width when they went to 9-speed.
You can run 8 sprockets from a 9-speed cassette on a 7-speed hub as per Sheldon's suggestion (my google-fu is weak right now).
