Any SRAM or SHIMANO Road or Cyclocross group set will work if it meets these standards. If you choose an 11 speed group, you will need new wheels, since yours are maxed out with a 10 speed cassette. There is no freehub upgrade kit option, as some other wheels have.

A mountain bike cassette can work on a road bike only if it has the same cog pitch as its road equivalent. If the cog pitch is different, the shifting would be inaccurate.

When upgrading gearing capacity—from 10 to 11 speeds, for instance—you'll need to upgrade the shifters on your bike. If you want a performance bump, you can upgrade from a lower tier group to higher tier group within the same brand (e.g., SRAM Apex to SRAM Red).

Can you fit an 11 speed cassette on a 10 speed hub?

Luckily, many common and not-so-common wheelsets, as long as they're at least 10-speed, can be upgraded to 11-speed by purchasing a new cassette body. The body is the part that attaches to the center of the hub and drives the wheel and bike when you pedal.

All other things being equal, the 34T sprocket on the 11-34T cassette is going to give you the easiest gear. If your bike is currently fitted with an 11-28T cassette, switching to an 11-34T cassette will make climbing less of a struggle.

Can I use Shimano derailleur with SRAM cassette?

Considering these parts were never designed to play well together, the Sram GX AXS shifter and derailleur work perfectly on the Shimano XTR cassette.

Is my bike 10 or 11 speed?

Multiply the front gear number by the rear gear number to get the number of speeds. For example, if you have two front gears and five back gears, you have a 10-speed bike. If you have one front gear and three back gears, you have a 3-speed bike.

Are 11 and 12 speed chainrings the same?

The extended inner plates of 12-speed chains make the chain too narrow for a regular 11-speed chainring. Consequently, a 12-speed Shimano chain cannot properly “grab” an 11-speed chainring.

Can I use 12 speed crankset with 10 speed cassette?

Would not recommend trying to use 12 speed chains on a 10 speed cassette, the narrower profile doesnt give the smoothest shifting.

The 12-speed cassette is designed to be backwards compatible with the existing 11-speed road freehub, while the 12 speed-specific freehub (available on Dura Ace hubs currently) can't be used with the 11-speed parts. Sram HG-style cassettes are largely the same spacing as Shimano, with the 10 speed exception.

Can I put an 11 speed cassette on a 10 speed hub road bike?

It combines the braking and gear shifting controls into the same component. This allows shifting gears without having to remove a hand from the bars, unlike previous down tube shifting systems. This component is usually referred to as a "shifter" or "dual-control levers", or occasionally "brifters".
