Looking for a cheap 10 speed cassette to use on my turbo trainer wheel but can't find anything cheap that is the same (11 - 32) as the cassette I use outdoors.

Can get other ratios (12 - 28 / 12 - 30) pretty cheap so was wondering if I could just use one of these without having to mess about with the rear mech after each swap?

Cheers for any help.

No problem.

There's a screw on the rear mech called the B-tension adjustment. This adjusts how close the jockey wheel gets to the sprockets. So long as you set this so that it'll clear the sprockets on both of your cassettes, you should be able to swap between them without making further adjustments.

And as you're proposing to fit a smaller one it'll already be fine, so no adjustment required.
