Yes, this is correct. Road Shimano/SRAM are 8-9-10, and 11 is a newer standard that should ship with a spacer to handle 8-9-10. That's what happened with my Velocity wheel that I just bought. I was on 9 speed, so I kept the spacer and moved my cassette from my (rim failed) older hub. Then, when

From 8 to 9 cogs and 9 to 10 they just decreased the spacing between cogs and didn't change the overall width. 7 to 8 and 10 to 11 is when the width changed. Mountain 11 sp

You likely cannot put a road 10, 11, or 12 speed cassette on an 8 speed hub (35.4mm), and 9 speed (36.5mm) is pretty iffy also. It is possible that the 8 speed cassette is on a wider hub with a spacer, but you need to check. Shimano 11 speed mountain cassettes fit 9 speed width hubs, so you can
