Cs6500 9x or cs-6700 10x
If I have a Mavic Aksium wheelset with a freehub that supports a sh-hg400 9x cassette, will the same freehub support a cs-6500 9x ultegra cassette, or cs6700 10x ultegra cassette??? If no, which other fhb will I need???
If yes, if I installed the 10x cassette, what will I need to do to adjust for accomodation??? I can, hoping, probably find slim bolts at home Depot... Thanks in advance.

Your freehub will accept Shimano 8,9 or 10-speed cassettes in any of Shimano's component levels including Ultegra. You could install a 10-speed cassette but you will need 10-speed shifters to use it and would probably have to refine the rear derailleur limit screw settings and cable tension.
What are the "slim bolts" for?

Now if the cassette fits, I can begin my ultegra r8000 -mechanical, "drivetrain only" upgrade. I already have an ultegra BB, r8000 crank set and r8000 calipers installed (:.
Thanks.

The OP may still be in luck if he's going the 11-speed route. Unless they're truly ancient, Mavic Aksiums reportedly are 11-speed compatible with the 1.75mm Mavic-supplied spacer removed. (Mavic freehubs were 1.75mm longer than Shimano 10-speed freehubs for quite a while before Shimano released 11-speed, hence the 1.75mm spacer.)
Hopefully the OP isn't planning on using the 11-speed shifters with a 10-speed cassette as an interim step. I don't think that's going to work out very well.

I wonder if the calipers and crank would be compatible with 9 or 10 speed shifters if he wanted to do that? If he's thinking of going with 11 speed all around, that's an entirely different issue.
Yea, no kidding. I hope OP is a litlle clearer in what he plans to do.

I think that the OP should chime back in and give a fuller account of their plans and goals. I am sure that most of us would like to be helpful but I see contradictory information coming in.
Something like an inventory of the parts they have and an upgrade plan. The posts so far don't make this clear
