"Can I use the XTR M9000 cassette on my 11-speed road setup?
Maybe. It should clear your spokes and fit on your 10-speed and 11-speed (with a spacer) freehubs, but your rear derailleur will likely be incompatible with the 40t cog. However, some clever folks have figured out that a longer rear derailleur B-screw can be a cheap hack to make it work."
That's another solution I've posted. I've already got the 36T SRAM cassette but not the Wolftooth.
I wanted to get a Shimano-only solution if possible but it seems like hard work, with xtr and new wheel, etc.
I thought I'd already posted about that one?
