So my old bike (white scattante sixsixty) has a 10 speed ultegra set up the rear wheel has a cracked eyelid and basically has no space in my life anymore and probably not worth much in the condition it’s in. I was wondering if I could use the parts for my new bike since I’m broke
I got a 2 new bikes in a group deal. one for me that’s good but one for my girl that I thought only needed a cassette but ended up being a little Frankenstein with a 9 speed shifter apparently, 10 speed dura-ace derailleur, and a broken 11 speed cassette.
I was wondering what I’ll need for swapping the cassettes I don’t have any bike specific tools yet. If anyone knows if I need spacers is there a recommendation for a pack I need? Shifter should be straightforward I would think, and derailleur should be good yeah?

It’s unlikely you would be able to frankenstein together something that works from parts of groupsets with different number of gears
Chain whip and cassette tool (if just socket look might need a 26mm spanner, or can get one with arm)
Freehub size would depend but could by cassette spacers than often go on before cassette in case need to bad out so cogs don’t wobble without them, 10 speed on 11 speed freehub often just need a single one
Ideally make sure shifter, cassette, chain and derailleur is same speed, technically can make sure shifter and derailleur but if cassette has extra or less then need to remember can’t shift as much (if cassette got more than shift or shifter has more than cassette has)
I just want the bike to be running to see if my girl is interested in it. Ideally with little to no cost. If I could essentially run it as a 9 speed with a 10 speed derailleur and a 11 speed cassette that’s fine by me. It looks like I just need to swap out the missing lowest gear and that could get the bike in functional condition after getting it adjusted.
So if you’re just using whats on the Scattante, all you’d need to do is swap the rear wheel and cassette – assuming you mean you have a cracked EYELETTE on the wheel. Save the wheel as the hub is likely reusable. Get a shimano cassette lock ring tool and chain whip to remove the complete 10-speed cassette from the old wheel and move it to the new wheel. You’ll use the same tools to remove the broken 11-speed cassette. You might need a spacer on the free hub body but you can steal that from the broken 11 speed cassette.
Once you install the new wheel, you will have to adjust the rear derailleur.
