Has anyone tried swapping out the whole hub on a Ultegra 6700 with a complete 6800 hub to make a 6700 rim and spoke 11 speed?

The spoke length seems virtually identical.

I did a new build with 6800s

I did a new build with 6800s and found it hard to get the exact information as to the flange size – IIRC, it’s a couple of mm bigger than 6700 for which information is available e.g. on the edd calculator.

Looks interesting.

My best solution so far is just to use a RS500 rear wheel as it looks pretty much the same as WH-6700.

That or buy a handbuilt wh-6800 with different rims. I’d make my own if I could find a rear 32 hole hub set… But cannot competitively source one.

I don’t see the point, or the price, of the RS700 as the carbon is not making a significant decrease in weight… Maybe the bearings are better than rs500 but cannot find any info on that.

This is totally not possible.

On closer inspection the hubs are not compatible.

You could save yourself a lot

You could save yourself a lot off hassle swapping hubs by using an Edco (UK manufacturer) Monoblock 11 speed cassette on your 6700 hub. https://www.edco-wheels.co.uk/product/monoblock-cassettes/
