SRAM / Shimano compatibility

Just bought a new bike (Moda Stretto) comes with SRAM Force grouppo.

Wondering if I can use my turbo wheel with it - Shimano 550 wheel with 10 speed 105 cassette & Tacx tyre? It seems from what I've read you can but anyone have experience of this don't want to damage new chain ot front chainrings.

Or should I buy a SRAM cassette to put on turbo wheel?

    it'll be fine

    you'll probably need to tweak the adjuster on the rear mech to get smooth shifting, remember which way and how many clicks so you can easily adjust back when replacing the original wheel

    are the cassettes the same gearing? if not and the turbo wheel has a larger big sprocket then also check to be sure there's enough clearance between it and the rear mech

    No problem. SRAM and Shimano cassettes are interchangeable (applies to both 9 and 10 spd*).
