Mixing 10sp with 11sp

Hello all.

Number two bike has developed a shonky wheel (bearings - will sort soon!). It's a full 105 gruppo. Thinking of running the best wheels from number one bike (DA9000) in the interim.

So, will I kill the DA cassette running it on a 105 drive train. And, will it shift ok? Obviously know a cog will be unusable, but is the spacing workable etc?

Cheers all!

    An 11 speed cassette will be either almost unusable, or totally unusable on an otherwise 10 speed drivetrain. This is because the spacing of the cogs at the rear is narrower.
    Red bikes are the fastest.

    Why not just swap cassettes and add the extra spacer?
