I don't understand why this hub would not be compatible with an 11 speed CS-R7000. Is this specific to veloworkshop hub that they provide?
I have two bikes. One is a gravel bike that uses an 11 speed SRAM cassette, the other is a road bike that uses
CS-R7000 (11-34). I have a hope wheelset (HG freehub) and I have switched out the cassette on the wheel and switched between the two bikes (I think I might use a spacer for one of the set ups, I don't remember just now).
I just want to make sure I am not buying the wrong hub and falling at the first hurdle!
Cheers!
In the Veloworkshop page they also say:
It says 'Mountain' freehub, which for HG refers to the 8/9/10 speed length, (1.85mm shorter). Shimano calls this HG spline M, which is used for MTB 11 speed since the innermost sprocket is dished inwards. Shimano's HG700/800 cassettes in 11-34T also use the same 'dishing' method and can fit on HG M.
Standard road 11 speed cassettes (CS-R7000...) needs the longer body, (Shimano HG spline L), which we commonly call Road HG 11 speed.
DT Swiss
currently only does 32 hole with the HG M length body in the 350, (along with other bodies). The 350 with less spokes have the HG-L,
Possibly SJCycles has older stocks, if 32H was ever available with the HG-L. Or their listing is wrong.
Probably best to confrim with them and hope that they have the right info.
