Uhh... I'm pretty certain that 8-9-10 speed Shimano/Sram freehub bodies are
all the same width. It's 7 speed that is narrower. From 8 to 9 cogs and 9
to 10 they just decreased the spacing between cogs and didn't change the
overall width. 7 to 8 and 10 to 11 is when the width changed. Mountain 11
speed cassettes will fit on an 8 speed freehub because of the dished
largest cog, but not road 11 with a flat large cog.
