    It won’t be a problem. Shimano makes very narrow (.5mm) spacers that is put on before the cogs that helps get rid of this play. I know they were included with DuraAce cogs for use on non-DuraAce hubs. I got one a little while back at Freshbikes in Arlington. If you describe the problem, or better yet, show them, it should be easy for them to get you the spacer you need. It should cost very little… a few $ at most.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks for the advice. It is so funny you said that, because I swore I got a thinner spacer at Freshbikes a while ago than the one I got today, and it was for a Dura Ace. I thought I was imagining it. As a last resort I was just about to pull that dura ace hub and check. Good to know unicorns really do exist. It is funny how lucky we are to have to have that store in our neck of the woods. Thanks again

    No problem, sir. They are good people. You’re right. They’re great to have in the neighborhood.
