swap 12T cog with 11T DA 7800
I recently switched to compact cranks and now when downhill and already on my smallest cog I spin too much. I was thinking of replacing my 12T cog to an 11T on my DA 7800 12-27. Are those two interchangeable? I've seen some websites post that the 11T can only be used with 11T cassettes. is that true? What's the difference?

I'm pretty sure you can't do it.

The gap from 11-13 is to much and can cause shifting problems. I had the same issue and ended up using the first 5 gears from the 11 and the second 5 from the 12. So I had 11-15, 17, 19, 21, 24, 27. That worked pretty well but I did notice an occassional issue shifting from 15-17 and back.
