Negative on that, George. The new Shimano Dura Ace 10 and Ultegra 10 speed hubs won't take a 9 speed cassette (they're too wide), but a 10 speed cassette will fit on the 8/9/10 speed 105 level hubs such as in R500-R560 wheels, older Dura Ace and Ultegra, and on most aftermarket wheelsets. You just have to use the supplied spacer behind the 10 speed Shimano cassette.

A nine speed Shimano cassette will work on a new Shimano wheel as the wheels are 9/10 speed.
If you want to upgrade, you will have to change both shifters, rear derailleur, chain, cassette. You can use the crank set, but may have to change the rings, although many times you do not have to do so.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Wheel upgrade question(s)
I'd like to upgrade my wheels this year and have a couple questions on 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,
Mike
