I'm building a Sam for my wife and bought a complete Shimano 105 11-speed STI group for it. Without thinking, I ordered a 650B wheel from Rivendell, only to find that it's a ten-speed hub. Now, I know there are spacing issues with STI shifters, but I'm wondering what would happen if I simply removed the biggest gear from the 11-speed cluster and installed it on the hub. Would the indexed shifting still work? The spacing between the gears would remain the same and, in theory, I don't see how the transmission would know the difference. However, I've built up enough bikes in my time to know that nothing (well, almost nothing) is that simple. Before I have the local bike shop build me an entirely new 650B 135mm 11-speed wheel (which, by the way, apparently are only made now for disc brakes), I thought I'd ping the group and see if anyone has any ideas. Thanks in advance, Kevin
