So I bought this wheel of my local marketplace and the problem is that my old cassette does not fit on this one. The cassette I have has 11 splines with one smaller spline. This one only 8 with one half empty (see photo). What kind of cassette would I need to buy for this wheel? Or should I look for another wheel which takes the 11 spline cassettes?

This is a campy free hub. Depending on the wheel you can probably just get the right free hub for it.
How many sprockets are you running? 11 speed is almost universally compatible. Unfortunately, 10 speed is not.
/u/passim is correct, that is a Campagnolo freehub.
Campagnolo. You’ll likely have an easier time finding a Shimano HG freehub body than trying to find Campy cassettes, but there are online retailers that carry them.
What wheel brand/model is that?
Campagnolo cassette. Bougie and always different, but goddamn they make a very nice set of parts, 10 speed record is still to this day one of the crispest shifting bikes I’ve ever ridden.
There’s a few companies that make shimano spaced cassettes for campy free hubs, (assuming you’re not running a campagnolo group set).
Depending on the hub you might be able to find a sram/shimano free hub to replace this one with so you can run regular cassettes.
You should probably look for a new wheel that takes Shimano
Yeah good chance that’s a replaceable freehub since it doesn’t look like a Campy hub, but if not you might just resell since the Campy ecosystem is generally more expensive and less flexible overall
Daaaayyyyyuuuummmmm, so THAT’S a Campagnolo free-hub, eh? (Low, slow whistle) cool.
You can probably buy a Shimano freehub and replace it. But it may be cheaper and easier to get another wheel.
Or Marchisimo used to make Shimano spaced cassettes that fit Campag freehubs. No idea if you can still get them though.
is campagnolo. 🙂
Campagnolo, as others have said.
But more specifically, Original 9 Speed Campagnolo Freehub. [Cassettes and Cogs — Branford Bike](https://branfordbike.com/new-page-1)
You’re best off seeing if the freehub itself can be swapped for something more modern.

Or.. put a Miche cassette on it.
Buy the group set to match the wheel hub…then you won’t need to replace anything for a few years, unlike Shimano or SRAM, which tend to wear very quickly.
Once you go to Campagnolo, you’ll never go back.
Just remember that rice was never meant to served with pasta. In other words, Italian bike means Italian group set and wheels!
Naysayers will mention that Campagnolo is not in the Pro Pelaton, which is true. But the Pro teams are budget conscious and are sponsored, so they ride what they’re paid to ride.
