Right now my commuter bike has a 39-30 double with an 11-speed cassette on a 10-speed freehub that I made work by dropping the 11T gear. Even with this combination I could hit 30 mph by spinning a 110 cadence if I really felt the need to (but since it's a commuter I don't).
How did you install a 11 speed cassette on a 10-speed freehub? Did you end up with 10 or 11 cogs?
