Hi,

I'd really like to get a Mavic Exalith wheelset (which are 10/11 speed) but I have an Ultegra 6500 group (9 speed), is this something that could work with spacers, or will the shifting be clunky and would I have to update my groupset?

Alternatively, does anyone know of any all black clincher rim wheelsets that would take a 9 speed group?

Love the look of the all black rims.

Thanks

Yes it'll work fine, just use a spacer (should come with the hubs/wheels if buying new).
