First world problem I know, but I have two gravel bikes. one 650b and another 700c. One is an Sram XD rear but and the other a Shimano freehub. If I had for example, and 11-34 cassette on each of them would the wheels be interchangeable without any shifting issues?
In reality one is Ultegra 11-32 and the other SRAM 10-42 force. I would like to be able to run the 700C (shimano) wheels with fast tyres between the two. What are the chances of this working?
I have the same on my Diverge - Specialized wheels came with XDR freehub and 6 bolt disc mount whereas my Roval wheels are Shimano and centrelock. I can swap the wheels without making any adjustments
I do that on my ebike(different hubs), dt swiss centrelock, hope pro 4 was a straight swap, hope pro 4 (xt)and spec roval (sram xg) I needed some disc spacers to match the hopes to the roval but now a straight swap

Simple answer... Maybe.... maybe not.. You don't often find 2 different rears that will give all the gears, heck, it's not always you find 1 wheel that will 🙂
Only answer is "try it and see"
Are they both the same hub standard- width and axle diameter?
I found that using different brand hubs meant the brake spacing was slightly different, only a tiny amount but it was enough to need to re position the calipers to stop constant rubbing every time I swapped the wheels. Not the end of the world but an annoyance.
