Shimano (compatible) FH Body ID Help
I have a set of thru axle wheels that are 142mm x 12mm (100x12 front) and I'm trying to determine if the freehub body is a 10 or 11 speed. The freehub body width measures 36.5mm to 36.71mm along the splines (from the shoulder) to the end (where the lock ring goes) depending on which spline I measure. They were originally on some kind of Specialized Hybrid.
The hub is marked "Road 18T" inside a circle with three pawls on it. Next to that is "HFH-0013". Below that is "0050045". I've done some googling and it could go either way by the measurement of the FHB "kinda" says 11 speed. I'm building up a gravel bike and am stuck between a 10 speed or 11 speed GRX set up.
Any info is appreciated.

And the model# of the hub is?
Google that and it'll probably tell you. Else provide a bit more precise info.

By your measurements, you have a 11 speed freehub (which, of course, will also take 10 speed and smaller cassettes with an added spacer.
What is the largest soprocket size you're using? At above 34T, I think, the 11s cassettes will fit on 10s freehub bodies.
