If I whack an 11sp rear mech onto my TT bike, can I just change the front 10sp shifter to friction based (the non click, non indexed one) and it’ll work?
The cassette width is only a few mm wider in 11speed I believe, and there’s no chance there’s not the range - the width between the wheel and the frame doesn’t change between 10 and 11, and the derailleur’s are perfectly capable of throwing themselves into the spokes.
