10 speed cassette on 9 speed system
so my primary bike is out of commission, and my backup bike currently doesn't have any wheels...
so i was wondering, if i put my wheels with the 105 cassette on the backup bike with tiagra shifters, will anything bad come of this (assuming i'm using the outer 9 cogs)?

But you still have the 9 speed shifters. I'm reading that he doesn't have wheels or possibly cassette for the backup bike which is 9 speed. In which case moving his 10 speed chain, cassette and wheels to the 9 speed bike gets him nothing that works.
Now that said, you all are 100% correct IF he has the 9 speed cassette and chain that were originally on the backup bike. Then he can swap cassettes and be down the road.

To sum up what others have said: the speed of the cassette, chain, and rear shifter need to match. (Edit: on second thought, the chain can actually be a higher-speed.)

Buy a rear wheel & 9 speed cassette for the back-up bike.
The back-up bike should be operational after all.

Hardly an "as designed" situation, and I'm sure not what the OP is looking for. Hence I'll stick to my "nothing that works" and clarify it with "properly" - thanks.
