What rear hubs and/or freehub bodies are compatible with a Shimano 105 5600 10-speed 12-25T cassette?

Shimano freehub bodies are compatible with shimano cassettes (and shimano-compatible off-brand freehub bodies, and shimano-compatible cassettes) That part is straightforward. Your hub to freehub-body interface depends a lot more on what hub it is. There are dozens of different connection systems for freehub body to wheel hub. What are you trying to achieve?– Criggie ♦May 15, 2017 at 1:12

1I'm thinking of buying a new rear hub– steeefMay 15, 2017 at 19:40

@steeef - note that buying a complete wheel is a usually better idea in cost and quality than buying the hub then getting the wheel built yourself.– BatmanMay 15, 2017 at 20:08

Assuming that you have a rim-braked road-bike, any rear hub that is Shimano 10/11 speed compatible will take your cassette and all other 10-speed Shimano road cassettes.
Just be aware that you need a 1.85mm spacer that goes on a freehub 11-speed body before you put on the cassette. Without the spacer the 10s cassette will move sideways.

1Also hub width. Road hubs are 130 mm OLD and mountain are 135. Something to think about when picking the hub wrt the frame choice.– BatmanMay 14, 2017 at 19:18

@Batman: 105 -5600 is road and most certainly 130mm if not disc braked. That's why I mentioned 'rim-braked'. I own a CX-bike with the disc version and 135mm spacing. The fitting of a cassette is identical on both hubs.– CarelMay 14, 2017 at 19:43

1It's a bit of a weird question. The guy seems to have the cassette but not the hub or wheel. The point comes up in whether he has a frame or not, where this matters. =)– BatmanMay 15, 2017 at 0:35
