As I continue to upgrade my Felt B16 I have laid out the following:
Shimano Ultegra FC-R8000 Crankset (175*52/36)
Shimano Ultegra CS-R8000 Cassette (11x32)
Shimano Ultegra FD-R8000 Front Derailleur (Braze On)
Shimano Ultegra RD-R8000 Rear Derailleur (Long)
Shimano Dura Ace R9100 Derailleur Cable Set
Shimano PTFE Brake Cable & Housing
Shimano Ultegra CN-HG701 11s Chain
Shimano Dura Ace 9000 11s Bar End Shifters.
Additionally I am changing out my Bottom Bracket and Derailleur pulleys to Ceramic Speeds (11s).
First, that takes care of my drive train by way of upgrading to an 11s set and changing out/upgrading a current bottom bracket that is failing. Does anyone see any issues here with the drive train components?
Secondly, I completely overlooked my wheelset. I currently have been riding on my pair of SRAM S80's over the stock wheels that came with the bike. The freehub assemply on the SRAM S80s (as best I can ascertain) is meant for a 10s cassette. As far as I know it will not accomodate an 11s cassette and what I can gather I would need to change out the freehub in order to accomodate the 11s cassette. I have seen other forums/postings about changing the freehub out to this: https://www.jensonusa.com/...1-Speed-Freehub-Body
Does anyone have any insight into changing out the freehub on this set. I wasn't planning on getting a new wheelset. Additionally my purposes on upgrading components was to ride this bike out for another 4 years or so before I am in a position to wholesale upgrade to another bike and componenet set all together. I like my Felt, it's a great bike, just looking to extend it with more options in mountaineous terrain.
TIA
