S-Works frame question
I have a 2007 Specialized S-works and it is currently configured with 10 speed Shimano Ultegra components. The bike has 30,000 miles and it is my favorite bike. I am thinking of upgrading all the components and thinking about going electronic with the SRAM Force etap system. I know I have to upgrade my wheels to support more than 10 speed cassette but wondering..... Do I have to worry about chain hitting an older 2007 frame if I go to 11-12 gear cassette? Would I also have to replace my Shimano rim brakes? Can I keep my Shimano chainset (46/32) or does this need to be replaced as well? Any other issues I have not thought about?

The FD cage will likely not adjust as low as wanted without hitting the chainstay,
but that would already be the case with current set up.
No problem with 11 speed cassette, can't say for 12 speed.
I've had not perfect shifting with 11 speed chain on 10 speed chainrings, but OK.
