A friend just getting into Tri's bought a used TREK 1000 (2000 model). It's running a 8 speed Shimano cassette.
She wants to buy a rear wheel but the local classifies are all 10 speed wheels. Can she put a 8spd shimano cassette onto a wheel hub made for 10spd. shimano?

Yes, if wheels for sale are pretty typical wheels, 99.9% of 10 speed wheels are actually 8/9/10 speed wheels.

So they will all accept 8-speed shimano cassettes flawlessly.

I thought it was 100% 8-9-10 speed standard hub width. What's the missing 0.1% that i never heard of?

Sure, some, now fairly rare dura ace 10 speed hubs only accept shimano 10 speed cassettes, as the freehub splines are quite different.

DP,

Not sure I'd call them rare, but the original D/A7800 hubs only accepted 10sp cassettes. I think that holds true for the 1st gen 10sp D/A wheels as well. Shimano released a D/A7801 hub that accepted 8, 9, and 10sp.

OK guys, thanks for the clarification....I just assumed all the 10 speed hubs were the same in both width and spline pattern
