    Yes.
    If they come with a spacer, use the spacer prior to the cassette, if they don't come with a spacer, then you have to buy a 1.8 mm spacer to convert 11 to 10.

    Note: typically 10 speed cassettes come with their own 1 mm spacer, which has to be used in addition to the 1.8. That unless the cassette is a 4600 Tiagra, which can be used with the 1.8 mm spacer directly.

    Complicated? Blame Shimano
