So I had a little bit of a hissy fit when I realized my shiny new Shimano 11-speed drive train wasn't going to work with my Lemond Revolution trainer (you know the one with the cassette mounted directly to the flywheel).
After searching for a work around, I found one! My compliments to Wayne Stetina for this idea.
Here is what I did:
So essentially what I did was take the 11-speed and turn it into a useable 10-speed. It isn't ideal and I lose my 11T which stinks for high intensity intervals, but it works.... It will also work on standard 10-speed wheels.
I know there are other people with this same issue, so perhaps it can help them.
To preempt any haters out there, I am only using this set-up on my trainer because Lemond has yet to offer an 11-speed freehub body. ALL of my new wheels are Shimano 11-speed.
Cheers,
Kevin

Here is what I did:
- I used a standard 1mm 10-speed Shimano cassette spacer behind the largest cog
- I mounted the Shimano 11-speed cassette, but without the smallest cog (my 11T cog)
- I used an 12T cassette lock-nut to fit on the 12T cog
- I tightened everything down
