are all 1x11 speed cassettes the same?
I know stupid question but have to ask. I have a 1x11 speed and the rear cassette is a VG sport cassette 11-42 so probably a lower quality cassette. My rear derailleur is a Deore M5100 and I have a bar end microshift 11speed bar end shifter. I want to run two sets of wheels and would like to use a better quality shimano 11 speed cassette in the same 11-42 configuration on one of the wheels. right now bike shifts really well if I swap the cassettes am I going to have to make adjustments to the shifter every time I switch back and forth between cassettes? thanks

Apart from the cassettes, different free hubs can be slightly different. Unless you buy wheels exactly the same as your originals there is always a chance that the cassettes will not line up correctly. If you have disc brakes, you can also have issues with brake calliper rub

It would be totally normal to have to tweek the RDER barrel adjuster a click or 3 when swapping.
Manufacturing tolerances on supposedly identical parts.
