This is genius that should have been geniused long ago. Shimano now makes 11spd cassettes that fit on 10spd hubs. Shockingly one doesn’t have to buy new wheels? Your old hoops are once again more useful!! Especially if one finds some lightly used carbon aero sets...but a catch!

These cassettes are made for MTB hubs and are 11-34 tooth range only. Whatever. It fits a road hub fine and I’ve got a 52/36 crank. So it’ll climb very well and not be too gear spacy.

Im regrouping an older frame. I’m tired of mishmash parts. So on goes the newest MicroShift group, thanks to a bunch of Amazon gift cards. Shimano compatible, and supposedly their game is significantly raised.
