How easy would it be to go back and forth? The disc brake makes it more complicated to switch wheel sets, so it would be all about going back and forth between a cog and freewheel on the disc wheels right?
Sorry for that. Seriously considering one to try cx and I'd prefer to ride fixed when not racing.
Basically you would just have to take of the Cog and Lockring and put on a freewheel. It wouldn't be super difficult though you want to make sure everything you are using is high quality and you know what you are doing so you don't damage threads. If you are switching a lot you could booger your threads and that is no bueno.
Disc Brakes don't really make it all that complicated though because you are still taking a wheel off so as long as you have the same rotor on each rear wheel it wouldn't be hard. Putting on the old wheel or the new wheel would be the same. One thing you could also do is clean the brake pads with isopropyl alcohol and maybe also do the same for the rotors and just make sure they stay nice and clean.
