Like most things in life, the 11-speed issue started out as a simple thing: in this case, a request from my wife for indexed shifting, as she wasn't sure she'd be comfortable taking one of her hands off the brakes to make the shift with bar ends or downtubes. Fine, no problem, except no one se

I'm building a Sam for my wife and bought a complete Shimano 105 11-speed STI group for it. Without thinking, I ordered a 650B wheel from Rivendell, only to find that it's a ten-speed hub. Now, I know there are spacing issues with STI shifters, but I'm wondering what would happen if I simply
