Will it fit the swing arm. If it will work I would have to get a shifter to match the cassette.

it would fit as they are the same width as 9 speed, at the moment i think only campagnolo make a flat bar 10 speed shifter at the moment, my question would be why would you want 10 speed on a mtb? slightest bit of mud and youll be left with no gears as there will be no room for the mud to shed.
an oz is for life , not just for xmas!

there should be no prob with the swingarm ...
the gaps between the bevel wheels are narrower than on 9 speed and as far as I know the total breadth of the 10 speed package is the same as on 9 speed. (can someone copy that? but I'm quite sure it is)
What you need is a shifter for 10 gears which runs on flat bars not on those racebike bars.

they are available.

have a look:
