Shimano 10 speed triple with 11 speed groupset?
Comments

Should be fine, 10 speed cranks work fine with 11 speed. Only issue might be with the rear derailleur cage and getting enough chain wrap.0

Thanks raisin - I may give it a go. I guess the chain wrap issue would be due to lack of clearance between sprockets when the chain-line is angled (crossover gears). I avoid big/big and small/small anyway so I may get away with it.0

I'd replace the front mech with an 11sp one - narrower cage.0

Problem is, no triple front mechs in 11 speed.0

Ah I'd forgotten that. Well, it's only a very minor difference in size, and triples aren't the slickest shifting set-up anyway
I've no idea what Raisin means my insufficient chain wrap though - you'll nees to change the mech and cassette but if the largest sprocket is tha same size as yr 10sp I can't see any issues - ah, unless he means that you can't get a long cage 11sp rear mech (GS), so you may encounter set-up problems on small/small as a standard road mech won't/may not take up enough slack on a triple.0 -

Looks like the long cage RDs for 11 speed will take a 41 teeth capacity, so a triple will still work fine.0 -
Thanks all, think I'll give it a go.0
