I'd have to agree with the "stick with the 9 speed" opinion. My

understanding is that most new wheels are 9/10 compatable (though some

might require a little different shimming). You can upgrade to 10 speed

as your budget allows.

Don't forget that in racing the neutral support wheels are more commonly

9 speed and therefore you're much less likely to have shifting problems

if you find yourself in the position to need one.

what else I need to consider before I do it.



It seems a majority of the wheelsets take 10 speed cassettes. My bike

currently has a 9 speed / 105 drivetrain. Aside from getting the wheels

and a new cassette, are there any other parts I would be forced to

upgrade. Rear derailleur? Shifters? Chain?



I don't want to bite off more than I can (financially) chew and I'm

curious if moving to a 10 speed cassette will ripple through the rest of

the bike.



Thanks,
