Vuelta corsa lite compatibility?
I have a fairly new steel bike with the latest version of 9 speed Dora components. I'm looking at the
Vuelta cords lite wheels, wondering about their compatibility with 9 speed, as well as the potential for upgrade to 11 speed later, and also wondering if the rear triangle on my bike that came with Sora will need any stretching to hold these wheels, and/or an 11 speed cassette?
Any expert insight here?

If the wheel has an 11 speed freehub, then it should come with a spacer for 8/9/10 speed cassettes.
The OLD (width) of the hub for road bikes is 130mm, this has been standard for 20+ years, and will probably stay that way, if your bike currently has a Sora hub/compatible wheel it will work fine(road discs are another matter)

My Vuelta Corsa Pros (not Lite but similar) were configured for 11-speed and I'm running 8-speed now. It came with spacers as Jimc101 said. The only downside is the slightly steeper angle of the spokes on the 11-speed hub but that doesn't make any difference in practice.

My Corsa Lites were made for 8/9/10 speed so I cannot upgrade to 11s. Make sure you get a version that suits your purposes.
