Set of wheels on chain reaction come with three freehub options.

*Shimano/Sram
*Campag
*Dura-ace

Whats the difference between the (shimano/sram) and the (Dura-ace)??

I'd hazard a guess that these days it means 11 speed (which is backward compatible with 10 speed with a spacer), but when they first did 7800 10 speed Dura Ace the freehub splines were deeper, to avoid the cassette biting in, so you needed a Dura Ace specific freehub.

Technically it's wrong either way, as Ultegra is now 11 speed, and the very first 6700 groupsets also needed the deeper splines.

Ohhhhh, dammit, should've got that right, poor show!

Hi Mark *waves back, whilst self flagellating*

I have old 10spd Dura-ace group set anyone know if i would fit the Dura-ace freehub?

Yes, you'll need a small spacer on the (very likely) assumption they mean it's an 11 speed freehub body, but that's a better bet as it'll give you backward compatibility.

Buy it and if it doesn't fit send it back for free.
