Hi Jags
The link is not working on my pc but from the title it looks like it may be a goer. I know the 6700 range but not the 6800 range so cant help too much

Hi jags!
Is it this one? http://www.bike-discount.de/shop/a99550/.html
In general, it should, but I'd need to know a few more details to say for sure:
• What is your rear dropout spacing (OLN, or Over Locknut Distance)?
• How many "speeds" is your current cassette?
In any case, you'll want to pack the hub fully with grease after it arrives; most ship with only enough grease to deter corrosion during shipping and storage, and the cones often aren't properly adjusted for riding.
Best,
Dan.

Jags,
I just looked at your email with measurements and attached photo. You got 129mm OLN and this hub is 130mm, so -- yes! -- the hub should fit your frame just fine.
The only remaining question would be if you needed a slim spacer to use your 9-sp cassette on the 11-sp hub. I *think* it would just slide right on, the 9-sp having wider cogs and spacer stack than the 11-sp, but I'm pressed for time at the mo' (flooded car footwell 'cos I got stoopid and forgot to close my bottle stopper when transporting the Nomad in from Yachats) and can check later if you need.
Will email you a fuller reply on the other things in just a bit.
All the best,
Dan.
