Wheels and cassettes...

Evening folks
I'm thinking of getting a second set of wheels to stick some slick tyres on for those less demanding rides. I've seen some on eBay but all seem to have or had 9 speed cassettes on them
Am I correct in thinking that a 10 speed cassette will fit on these too?
Thanks
Drew

Yep, it'll go straight on.

Bear in mind another set of rotors (if you're running disc brakes) and that there might be some faff getting both sets to run clear of calipers. Manufacturing tolerances between different (or even the same) brand hubs.

are you going to run the same cassette and swap it over on each set of wheels?
I used to do this for while and tried to used 2 cassettes. My road / commuter mileage was higher and I ended up with chain slip on the second cassette.

Hadn't really thought about e calipers being an issue! But yes it'd be running disc brakes.
I'd probably go for 2 cassettes as I'm looking for the minimum of faff option.
Thanks
