This means 11 speed cassettes will not fit on your hub, so you need new wheels with an 11 speed free hub body.
Can I put an 11 speed cassette on my bike?
Luckily, many common and not-so-common wheelsets, as long as they’re at least 10-speed, can be upgraded to 11-speed by purchasing a new cassette body. The body is the part that attaches to the center of the hub and drives the wheel and bike when you pedal.
Will an 11 speed cassette fit?
Quote from video: So the eleven speed will slide further in back over the freehub. And it will be compatible.
Can I put an 11 speed cassette on a 7 speed hub?
Basically, you need to know whether the freehub is 30mm or 35mm wide, and the easiest way to do that is to take the cassette off and measure it. 30mm means you can’t upgrade, 35mm means you can.
Can I change a 9-speed cassette to 11?
Converting a 9-speed wheel to 11-speed
You will have to buy a new 11-speed wheel and replace the entire wheel. On the other hand, if your current wheel is an 11-speed wheel, you can convert it to 11-speed by removing the low spacer from the low side of the 9-speed sprocket and installing an 11-speed sprocket.
Can I put an 11 speed cassette on a 10 speed bike?
You can use the 11 speed wheel with the 10 speed bike, so long as you use a 10 speed cassette and the right spacers. It’s usually cost prohibitive to upgrade from 10 speeds to 11. You need new shifters, new derailleur, new cassette, new chain.
Do I need a spacer for 11 speed cassette?
No Sram cassette requires the use of any additional spacers. If you are running Shimano or Sram 11 speed, the cassette will simply install directly on the freehub body with no spacers required.

Yes, you can. If a smaller cassette suits your needs and terrain more, there’s no reason why you can’t put it on your bike. It doesn’t affect the function of your bike or drivetrain in any way and shifting will not be different.
Are 10 and 11 speed cassettes the same width?
11 speeds. Sprocket width is the same as for 10 speeds, so 10 speed sprockets can be used, provided that 11 speed spacers are used. Sprockets are 1.6 mm thick, spaced at 3.74 mm (road), or 3.9 mm (MTB).
What spacer is needed for 10 speed cassette on 11 speed hub?

You’ll have bigger jumps between the gears, but you’ll have a bigger range of gears. With a wider range cassette, you may need a new rear derailleur with a longer cage.
How do I know what cassette is compatible with my bike?
You can know what cassette to get for your bike by determining the teeth count on the largest sprocket and the smaller sprocket of your current cassette. For example, a size 12-25t cassette, which is standard to road bikes, has 12 teeth on the smallest cog and 25 teeth on the largest cog.
