Swapping wheels and disc rotors between bikes

[JhnBssll]

Send me your address privately and I'll try and get them in the post asap i cant imagine postage will be a lot but if you want to cover it then I'm not going to stop you I'll send my bank details once they're on their way and we know how much postage was

Will do. Cheers.

I knew this would happen. The rotors on the new wheels don't line up with the calipers properly! Does this mean I'm gonna have to fart about adjusting the calipers every time I wanna swap the wheels over? Why can't stuff just work properly?!

I'm expecting to find the shifting all to cock, too, once my cassette arrives because that probably won't line up either!

... once my cassette arrives...

Just heard this crash onto our tiled hall floor after being thrust through the letterbox. Hope it it well packaged, otherwise alignment will be the least of my woes!

Yes to adjusting calipers. Probably no for gears.

I've found some rotor shims online, but have to order them from the US. If the sprockets are out of line as well I shall be giving up on this idea of two sets of wheels malarkey, though!

It's not consolation, but it is seamless with mine. Maybe 6 bolt fittings are more standard?

If it's any consolation Both the disc and the cassette on my spare wheel are out of alignment and they're identical hubs!
It's between 0.5-1mm off and takes around 3 minutes to adjust both the indexing and the caliper.

I will not be doing that. I will be engineering any alignment issues out of the equation.

Hopefully!
