    Does anybody know for sure if a cosmic carbone shimano freebody 2013 that was used for a 10 speed cassette will take an ultegra 11 speed cassette?thanks in advance.

    It is my understanding that all Mavic Shimano-compatible freehubs for quite a few years now have been made with the same width, a width that will accommodate the new 11sp Shimano cassettes. The 11sp cassettes are 1.85mm wider than the 10sp cassettes, and presumably you've been using the wheels to date with a 10sp cassette plus a washer, so it should simply be a matter of leaving that washer out.

    That's just my understanding though, it obviously doesn't really answer your question as I've not actually tried this myself. Further evidence that this will work is mentioned here, for what it's worth.

    Just checked there.10 speed cassette plus 2 x washers [combined thickness 2.1mm]so it should be grand.
