rival & ultegra
I bought a new frameset and am building it up and am in the middle of deciding between rival and ultegra. Leaning toward rival because it appears i can get it for around $200 less...
I have a wheelset I am going to put on the bike, the rear wheel is setup for shimano 9 speed. Do I need to buy anything to make it compatible with the 10 speed SRAM? Will the the 10 spped SRAM cassette fit on the shimano freehub? If not what do I need to buy?

Think out of the box - Athena 11 speed for $680.

I just replaced my old Ultegra 9 speed with Rival 10 speed.
With 20+ years on Shimano and being pretty green on double tap, I like the shift action a bit better on the Shimano, but for the price difference, give me Rival every time.
