you've got no choice... if say a certain brand launch full 11-speed wheel... you are forced to buy it...

let me re-phrase your question...

"Currently i am on 10 speed and the coming set of wheels comes with 11speed freewheel, can i still use my 10speed?"

Yes, all 11 speed wheel includes a 1.85mm spacer to allow the use of 10speed cassette for backward compatibility...

in this sense, you are not force to go 11-speed and stay on what you have...for very obvious reasons...manufacturers can't force people to upgrade and neither do they want to lose market by forgetting the 10 speed users or increase costs by building specific wheels for 11 and 10 speed...so, a spacer solves the problem although some anal retentive a~holes might think of something to complain about using 10-speed on 11-speed specific wheels...

if that answers your Q

I am on 11:25. For better climbing range, I think I should try out 11-28/10. No need to change the set-up, no?

if i could do it all over again, i would have gotten a 52/36 crankset and 11-26 cassette.

now, climbing bentong on 39x25 feels like dying la. 15kg less and 10km/h extra ago, 25 was not a problem. i chose 12-25 because i dislike big ratio gap

now, very jealous to see friends climbing bentong on 28t cassette. but i hate the big ratio gap. which to choose?

the polygon is giving you better specs but also more expensive and out of your budget

the trek is a better brand but lesser components and maybe affordable within your budget...possibly a more easier to handle frame geometry

you weight your options...
