Not buying a new crank, bb, and brakeset saves c. $350 vs a complete new groupset. Incl. the wheels I get to 11s for less than $600.

Nobody seems to know the answere to the real question I asked.

I have campy 8s now so I am building a new wheelset regardless. And I want to be able to use the wheelset (with a cassette swap) for my 10s cross bike.

Campagnolo 11s and 11-32t cassettes

So. I am going to 11 speed but I want a wider range cassette than campy offers. IRD makes an 11-30 but its super expensive. Given that the spacing is the same on Shimano/Campy 11s I am leaning...

10 speed Ultegra shifters with 9 speed XT RD

Will 10 speed Ultegre (6600) shifters work with a 9s XT derailleur? I know the 10s dynasys XT will not, but I was hoping the 9s might.
