technical question

[scooter01]

I currently have Shimano 6700 compnants on my bike, its 8 years old.
I am thinking of ugrading to 11 speed with the 6800 group set.
I am riding Mavic Ksyriums SSC's, Will the hub on my current wheel accept the 11 speed cassette?
Or will I need another set of wheels for the 11 speed gear?

I have found that the 11 speed group is less expensive than another 6700 group.

thanks in advance

I believe that all Mavic wheels made after 1999 are 11-speed compatible out of the box. If you want to make sure, remove the 10sp cassette. There should be a 1.8mm spacer on the freehub body; removing it will allow you to mount an 11sp cassette.

Someone with more expertise can probably back this up or contest it.

Yep, plug and play....on Mavic wheels. Just don't use the Mavic supplied spacer.
