    I have recently purchased a set of SRAM S60 wheels withthe plan to put them on my TT bike with a 10 speed cassette however now they’ve arrived I’ve noticed the freewheel is marked 9 speed. Can I fit a 10 speed cassette onto these wheels? If so do I require anything such as a spacer?

    you should be able to, yes.
    you should be able to, yes. SRAM use the same freehub format as Shimano and they haven’t changed their freehub size since the switch from 7- to 8-speed. 8,9 and 10 run on the same freehub size and the spacing between the cogs has been tightened to accommodate the extra gears. You can get dedicated 10spd freehubs with deeper splines, and they’re not backwards compatible. but anything marked 9 should take a 10.

    You may need a thin spacer, I think it’s 1mm, to make sure that the locknut tightens against the cassette properly. If you do, it goes at the back of the cassette.
