  • So possibly going in a different direction with this... When choosing the wheelset I was told the hub would take an 11sp road cassette, but when trying this for myself the freehub was too short. Basically the shop used a Halo Supa Drive hub (mtb 11sp) when they should have fitted a Halo Spin Doctor 6D rear hub (road 11sp), which they're now doing free of charge thankfully. To be fair their distributor did misinform them and they've been good about rectifying it quickly.

    This now means I don't have to make do and mend and can fit 105 5800 as I had originally planned. It also means:

    • I can still use a 10sp road/mtb cassette should I wish
    • Can use hydraulic discs with integrated brake/shift levers in the form of Shimano RS685
    • My rear derailleur can match the shifters (105/105)
  • To be fair their distributor did misinform them and they've been good about rectifying it quickly.

    Best outcome, always worth asking before buying for this very reason.
