Yes, tell someone what the wheels are
I was debating whether to buy the new shimano hydraulic brakes for mechanical groupsets which are 11 speed only.
Shimano RS81
Spec suggests they are 11 speed compatible.
So will have a think as to whether to buy the Shimano R685: http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news...draulic-road-brakes-11-speed-groupsets-119500

Um. You have a rim brake wheelset and therefore, cannot fit hydraulic disc road brakes
Durr. I looked up the wheels I have on my road bike, not the ones on my Croix de Fer. What a numpty!
The wheels are whatever were on the 2011 model. Shimano Deore with Alex DF-23 rims according to Evans.

I'm going to say no, they're not 11 spd compatible

No. Shimano 8-9-10 hubs won't take 11. If you gad older Mavic hubs they would

Stop frigging about and just buy a new bike with 11 speed and Hydraulic discs.
You know you want to.
I like the cut of your jib.
