I even had to play it safe to get the wheel distributor 11sp freehub body rather than attempt a more 'generic' one which might not fit after purchase.
Also, their Double Tap system does not appeal to me.
I've wondered about the SRAM 10-tooth cog/cassette as a modern update to Capreo. I thought that 11-speed cog spacing was the same -- or close enough -- across Shimano/Campagnolo/SRAM cassettes.

The question for me would be whether a 10-toothed cog could be taken apart to make a cassette more appropriate for road use.

I'm confused by your comment. What is uncertain about the XD driver with respect to small wheels? Don't you just get an XD driver hub and build a wheel?
