I guess that says it. I have a set of Bonty wheels on my road bike, the wheels are about a year old (warranty replacements for the originals, which had some small rim cracks). Shimano ultegra 11-28 cassette on the rear now.
I'd like to use these wheels on a different bike, but I need to know if I can swap the cassette for an MTB one. Either traditional 9-speed or even the newer dyna-sys 10-speed version would be acceptable. (Hopefully both would be okay, but the dyna-sys design could be off in its own world.)
Talked to my LBS, and they said "probably" a lot, but no "certainly" or "for sure". And also made a comment about whether width of the hub body and the cassette would match.
So will a hub that accepts Shimano road cassettes also accept MTB cassettes? Or are they incompatible?
Any work-arounds if they're different?
