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...
ThePeginator-
Huh. Thanks, I did not know that. Can someone confirm?
My experience with MTB components is exactly 0, is the difference essentially that MTB cassettes are only offered in much wider ranges than road ones, or is there any further difference? Beyond the width thing?

For some fucking retarded reason
The "fucking retarded reason" is that the larger distance from the wheel centre to the upper pulley centre which is appropriate for big sprockets of 34T+ makes it possible to push the big sprocket inboard of the hub flange a bit further than on a road set up without getting the pulley cage dangerously close to the spokes. Taking advantage of this packaging gain allows MTB hubs to have a little less dish than they would otherwise need if the freehub rotor was made the same width as the 11s road one, so the wheels are stronger.

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?
