I had a need for an 8 speed mountain bike wheel, but all I had on hand was a 7 speed Weinmann wheel. Rather than buy an entire new wheel, I chose to upgrade the freehub body. This is an easy project but it does require certain tools: a cassette removal tool, cone wrenches, and a 10mm Allen wrench.
I bought a new 8 speed Shimano freehub body for under $20.00 whereas a new wheel of similar quality would easily approach $75.00. So, this is also a budget friendly project.
On a mountain bike, an 11 speed cassette will fit on an 8/9/10 speed freehub body. However, I understand that 11 speed road cassettes require a slightly wider 11 speed specific freehub body. I recommend doing some research if you want to make a similar upgrade for a road bike 11 speed cassette.
I got my freehub body at ModernBike.com. [ Ссылка ]
