SRAM on Shimano hub
Hi, is there a SRAM 11 speed or 12 speed cassette which will work on Shimano 10 speed hub (TX505)?
If yes, which SRAM series? Thanks

Pretty much any SRAM 11 or 12 speed MTB cassette that starts with an 11 tooth small cog will fit on a 10 speed freehub body. Anything that starts with a 10 tooth cog will require an XD driver freehub.

Exactly why would you want to go with 11 speed on a Tourney hub? Tourney is the absolute bottom of Shimano's range and is not worth upgrading. Get a bike with what you want on it already. Run the tourney bike into the ground.
If you use anything XD you will need the correct XD or XDr driver which you can get from plenty of quality hub manufacturers. If you are just looking to run a standard cassette with 11t cog you will need a 11 speed freehub which again can be gotten from plenty of quality hub manufacturers but you will need something 11 speed compatible. There are some oddball cassettes designed for 10 speed wheels to run 11 speed but they aren't easy to come by and I wouldn't recommend them unless I had a really high end wheelset that didn't have a freehub upgrade option which is rare these days.

This is only true with road cassettes. All Shimano 11 speed MTB cassettes fit on an 8/9/10 speed freehub body, as well as all SRAM 11 and 12 speed MTB cassettes that start with an 11 tooth cog.

A little twist on the question - is there an XDR freehub body which will fit on a Shimano Tiagra hub? I'm trying to upgrade a late 1980s vintage Trek aluminum bike to SRAM Force etap AXS, but would like to bite off a bit at a time. I would feel much better if I didn't have to buy a new wheel at the outset, since I just bought this wheel last year.

Genuine shimano hubs cannot be converted to any other freehub body. If you want to try axs, the first thing you'll need is new wheels.

Not exactly true. I converted a Uniglide hub over to Hyperglide using a LX freehub on a 600 Tricolor hub and it works just fine. My co-worker has been riding that bike for a long time and zero issues. More modern stuff may have some issues but as long as everything mates up fine you are good to go.

Thanks - my bike is a 1989 Trek aluminum with Shimano 105 of that era. It sat in the garage since the 1990s, but I dusted it off and really enjoyed riding this past year. I got a new rear wheel with 11 speed freehub, 8 speed cassette and derailleur (so I wouldn't have to change the crankset). But it still has downtube shifters, original front wheel, square taper bottom bracket. I would like to modernize it and lighten it up and thought wireless etap might be great. But $1000 for the groupset, a couple hundred for bottom bracket and crankset, new XDR wheel that might have to be custom built (128 mm spacing, rim brakes) is probably too much. Maybe I'll overhaul what I have this winter, really learn how everything works, and get a new 105 groupset this summer. Or maybe wireless will come to 11 speed setups this year.

The frame spacing is probably the standard 130mm. Rear dropouts are not so rigid that a 130mm hub wouldn't fit. No need for custom wheels.

It's actually spaced at 128 mm, and I had my wheel re-spaced to match. I know, maybe didn't have to, but I didn't want it to be fiddly to take off and put on in a pinch. It doesn't seem to be easy to just pick up a wheel with XDr, 130 mm, quick release, aluminum, rim brakes, at a modest cost. Seems the wheels available online are disc brake, 142 mm, thru-axle. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places? Also most online stores have terrible search functions for wheels!
