Quick hub question

Do different hubs place the brake disk in exactly the same place?

I an considering a second set of wheels but don't want to adjust brake calliper every time I change the wheels - obviously they'll be in roughly the same place but we all know how little the calliper has to be out of place for annoying disk rub to occur! Am I best to stick with Hope hubs again? I assume the new pro2 Evo hub is just different bearings and the body is the same?

Thanks!

    in a word No. they should but they dont.

    shim the disc on one set to suit.

    Even the same hub can make enough difference to cause rub.
    Sometimes even just the tension of the QR.

    As above, Syntace (among others) do rotor shims to sort this.
