I've bought a set of Dura ace wheels on ebay, bloody bargain.
What I didn't realise was that they are the 7800 series which only accept a specific 10 speed casette which is a complete PITA as I'm planning to use them on bikes with an 8 or 9 speed set up.
After doing some research I've discovered that they can be machined to accept the older style 7,8 and 9, as well as the newer 10 speed casette.
has anyone had experience of doing this before? does anyone know a good machinist in london (preferaby east) who would be up to the job?
it requires milling the freehub body splines down by .25 mm as well as milling the end of the body off by about 1mm
