i agree the cassette spacing might make it more challenging for the chain to 'grab' onto the next gear, especially on the down shift. however, the 11 spd chain has a lot more lateral flex, which is a positive. since nobody has tried this, i guess i'll just try it and let y'all know.. eventually
Lateral flex, while being more forgiving in terms of cross chaining, makes (fast) shifting more difficult.
