Can I bum a used/busted/broken 10 speed shimano 105 or Ultegra cassette off anybody? Doesn't need to run smoothly, broken teeth is no objection.
Being the sophisticated vintage afficionado that I am I got my hands on a pair of 1996 Shimano 600 TriColour hubs. Which according to the internet can either work perfectly well with modern 10 speed cassettes or mabye not work with modern 10 speed cassettes at all. I reckon the best way to find out is to try one one before I commit to buying a whole groupset.
Basically, I am hoping you will just give me whatever you have lying around. Will pay you in Japanese beer. Or if you let me borrow one to try on, I promise to drop it off back at yours a day or so later.
