If you build bikes, then 10s and 11s could get much cheaper quickly.
It will be interesting how this all shakes down.
Shimano introduced a whole new hub that was 11s specific, then a few short years later, another hub that is 12s specific.
All the while, they seem to be continuing to support the 8/9/10 speed parts.
There is a lot of 11s support, but will it die off in favor of 12s + 8/9/10 speed, and skip the 11s?
