The 11 speed freehub will work for 10 speed w/ a spacer.

Some RD adjustment may be needed w/ any cassette change.

Do your own adjustment- the LBS might just put some oil on it & call it good.

I removed, cleaned and regreased it. The QR and cassette are tight. I'll let you know if this solves it. Thanks.
