11 speed cassette and hub

[jowwy]

im using hsons with novatec disc hubs which are 11 speed compatible

Do i need to use a spacer with the 11 speed cassette....

My understanding is that if a hub is 11 speed compatible, then spacers are only required if you want to fit a cassette with fewer than 11 cogs, as the cassette will be narrower than the 11 speed one.

I've no experience with Novatec hubs though, so hopefully someone will be along soon with a definite answer based on personal experience.

Are you using the Archetype rims? If so, great rim, and that is based on personal experience.

Good luck with the build.

No you dont. You only need a spacer if youre using an 11 speed hub with a 10 speed cassette.

Bike is all built and took it out today with no spacer...........i thought i had it right but was just checking.

Yes the hsons rims are real good, especially in a disc brake build too
