If my cassette (12-25) and chainset (50/39) stay the same, will the chain length be the same when moving from 10 to 11 speed. Common sense says yes, but just wanted to check. Thanks

    While we're on the subject can I just check that if I'm moving from a 12-28t to 12-25t (compact, 10 speed if that matters) would I need to take a link or two off the chain?

    No need to shorten the chain. You only need to do that if you switch to a smaller smallest sprocket or inner chainring.
