However, the good news are that a freewheel coming with 7-speed Shimano cassettes is compatible with 10-speed systems, so you won’t need changing the rear hub/wheel.

Shimano uses a different cable pull for 11 speeds than for 10, and so you must use a matched set of derailer and shifter. Shimano 11-speed bodies work only with 11-speed cassettes. Shimano 8- 9- and 10-speed cassettes/hubs are fully interchangeable for wheels with steel Freehub bodies.

Are there any cassette hubs that work with Shimano?

Most cassette hubs are compatible with Shimano cassette cogs. SRAM cassettes and most Miche, IRD and SunRace cassettes use the same inter-sprocket spacing as Shimano, but at least some SRAM 10-speed cassettes do not fit aluminum-body Dura-Ace hubs. SRAM has three series of rear derailers.

Can a freewheel be removed from a Shimano cassette?

To remove some Freehub bodies (or a freewheel), the hub must be spoked into a wheel. However, the most usual kind of Shimano Freehub body can be removed from a bare hub if a cassette is installed.
