Does anyone know if you can mix 6800 11 speed STI's with 105 10 Speed brakes? Assume it doesn't cause any issues?

    Unless the pull ratios have changed dramatically, they should be compatible.

    Generally speaking, brake calipers don't care how many gears you have...

    What happens if he's in the 11th gear and needs to stop?
