I’m pretty sure if you use an 11sp shimano MTB cassette it’ll fit a 10sp hub. I think the shimano HG800 cassette fits 10sp road wheels, I’m hoping someone can confirm...(edit- google seems to think I’m right)
For some fucking retarded reason when shimano went 11sp the road dept made the freehub fractionally wider, the MTB department left the freehub as is and changed the cassette design to fit, go figure...

If I want to build up a bike with older wheels that are only 10-speed (SRAM/Shimano) compatible, what would the recommended route be re groupset? Presumably, there are quite a few used good-quality groupsets out there now that most will have switched to 11-speed, no? So should I just look for e.g. used Ultegra / Dura-Ace components from back when?
