• It's a Novatec D772, which according to the Novatec site is 11 speed. It's not though. Are 11 speed MTB cassettes narrower? I think I may have read that it takes 11 speed MTB, but not road. That seemed weird to me as I didn't know there was a difference.

    I don't actually mind at the moment as ditching the 11t cog isn't going to affect me as I was unlikely to use it, so I'm just running a 10 speed cassette but with 11 speed spacing, if that makes sense.

    There are 11 speed freehubs available which I may look into if I decide to make it into more of a road steed, but for now I'm happy with my bodge.

    Shimano new 11 speed MTB cassette can be fitted on 10 speed freehubs body due to the biggest sprocket overhanging on the carrier.

  • That'll be it then. I'm pretty sure novatec produce 11 speed freehubs which fit, I had just assumed it was one of those. Bloody marketing...
