Running separate wheelsets
Hi Everyone,
If you're running separate wheelsets and the cassettes are of different gearing - 11/25 and 11/32 - what are the chances you'll need to adjust your derailleur everytime you swap wheelsets?
Using an 8-speed triple.
Thanks
Mike

You did say "TRIPLE", so there shouldn't be any problem if you are set up for the 11-32 and it currently works correctly. Chain length wouldn't be any different than if you were taking off in 3rd gear (or so).
Any adjustment required would be because the cassettes weren't centered the same from the DS locknut.
Thin shims/spacers could adjust that dimension if needed.
