Shimano 5700 hubs and 11 speed

philclubman

Hi,

I'm thinking of building a Kinesis 4S with the new Shimano 5800 11 speed groupset. I currently have a pair of Excellights on Shimano 5700 hubs that I'd like to transfer over.

Does anyone know, other than having the rear re-built onto a 5800 hub, if there's any way to use them on an 11 speed bike?

Thanks in advance

Have not seen the 5800 hub yet, it might be possible to transfer the freehubs, or it might not... thing with SHimano it's hard to remove the freehub if it's not built into a wheel
