Kickr Core Hub/Cassette question
I'm thinking about buying a Kickr Core to run with Zwift because my Powerbeam won't provide resistance anymore. The Kickr Core comes with the ability to put on an 11 spd Cassete. I assme, since 7/8/9 cassettes are the same size as 10 (correct me if im wrong) the spacer for a 10 spd to 11 spd hub is what I'm looking for.
Also is there a difference in the mating of a SRAM/Shimano gearset, or are they interchangeable??

The Core comes with the 1.8mm spacer you need for 8/9/10. Either SRAM or Shimano 8/9/10 cassettes will work.

SRAM/Shimano are the same interface. Ignoring some newer cassette bodies. If you are using 7 speed, then you need a 4.5mm spacer. For 8+ speeds, you need the 1.8mm spacer. Those spacers are readily available, your local bike shop should have some
