I am watching a wheelset on E-bay that is new, and uses the SRAM x7 hubs, the description says that it will take a 8-10 spd, but the seller claims it will take an 11 spd cassette also. Anyone have any experience with these hubs, good or bad? Can anyone confirm the Shimano 11 spd compatibility?
Sorry for the Newbe questions, just trying to decide if custom wheels are worth the extra money, or would these off the shelf sets do for a commuter.

I don't have personal experience yet, but I have read that the Shimano MTB cassettes that are referred to as Dyna-sys 11 speed are supposed to fit on an 8/9/10 speed cassette.
I have a 11-46 cassette in hand, but don't have my wheel yet.
I ordered the wheel with an XT M756 hub. It indicates that it works for 8/9/10 speed or Dyna-sys 11 speed cassettes.
I don't know if it would work with the SRAM hub.
Good luck. Maybe someone else has more complete knowledge or hands on experience.
