This isn't a thread about how BikeGremlin.com should be removed from the internet - it is about even concrete bike information gets polluted and diminished by repeating and preserving poorly obtained and unverified information. Sheldon Brown wouldn't have said that Dura Ace cogs are spaced differently because Sheldon Brown has actually mounted a Dura Ace cassette on a bike or two.
Didn't the first Dura-Ace indexed shifters and cogs use different spacing that made them incompatible with the parts used in subsequent indexed Dura-Ace drivetrains? (But maybe you're referring to something else---I haven't followed this thread closely.)
