STW!
I am doing a lockdown build and got a pair of old 2009 Mavic Crossmax SLR wheels (26er 135mm).
I am debating going to an 11 speed rear cassette and I have tried to fit a semi worn shimano xtr cassette but it seems to be too large.
Will the Crossmax freehub accept an 11 Speed cassette or will I need to change the free hub or possibly the wheels to do this?

Woody?
Yep. 11 or 12 speed if you use SRAM NX or SX cassettes. I think sun race do one that will fit too. You need something compatible with shimano HG pattern freehubs
Thanks Tom
Do you know if it requires a washer / spacer behind the largest cog?
I could get the whole cassette on but the smallest sprocket didn’t fit against the splines on the freehub properly and I could get a few turns on the lock ring but the cassette wasn’t tightened properly
Perhaps I need to try again
😃
Shimano 11 speed should work, they just moved the biggest cog towards the spokes and only went micro spline for the 12 speed stuff.
Managed to get it on - perhaps I never believed enough last night 😀
Now just need to get an 11 speed mech and shifter
