  • Google and Leonard Zinn say no.

    In which case, what are my options: Shimano m8000 hubs, Rival shifters and derailleur and a desire for a reasonable close-ratio cassette.

  • Speeds are dictated by the shifters with Sram. You can use 10 or 11 speed mechs for either. Match the levers and the cassette.
    If you have 10 speed wheels and 11 speed levers, I can't help you

    looks like there might be potential for filing down the freehub, will have to take some measurements.

    Yes and no. I think they changed the geo of the 11 speed mechs to match the gaps in the 11 speed blocks.

    The shifters pull the same amount of cable [exact actuation] , ten or eleven speed, for each click.

    But plug them in to an 11 speed mech and the amount it moves will be different to the same shifters plugged in to an ten speed mech.

    Obvs with a ten speed block and mech you'll have a spare shift that you'll need to absorb with limit screws.

    @jon. - plug it in to a ten speed mech.
