I'm in the process of cleaning up some wheels to sell. The cassette fitted was 9 speed Shimano. What other speed cassettes will fit this Freehub.
Thanks.

Up to 10 speed for certain using that freehub.
I have Evo 2s on one of my bikes & that's running 10 speed Shimano. I'm not sure if the 11 speed hub fitted to the Evo4 will fit. Having said that; I had to use the spacer on my Evo 4 with a Shimano/Sram 11 speed cassette, so you may be able to fit an 11 speed to the hub you have.

10 and 11 speed Shimano MTB cassettes will fit it fine.

Ok thanks. I'll be asking how much I should sell them for soon but need to get some photos.

If they're the 40T engagement version then Hope do make a freehub body that allows you to fit 11 speed road cassettes to these hubs. Otherwise you're limited to 8/9/10 and 11 speed MTB cassettes.

The 11 speed road freehub also fits the pre 40t hubs, it's exactly the same as the normal freehub but with the splines just machined longer to accept the 11 speed road cassette.

The 11s freehub will fit, but apparently cassettes might not, the 40t hub body is narrower to clear them.
Ive got a set and considered upgrading to micro spline but TBH by the time ive added that, 12mm addapters and boost addapters its not far off the cost of a new hub.

It worked fine on my 11 speed road bike with an 11-36 road cassette. Mine's not even an Evo, just an ordinary Pro 2 but I did have to use the Evo axle and 2mm spacer as well.
As my wheels are 142x12 I've converted them all to the Evo spec axle as it's much stronger than the non-evo for the 12mm. The only difference between the hub body of the Evo and non-evo pro 2s is the anodising of the word Evo.
