Swapping cassette onto new wheels?
I'm about to stick my new Dura-Ace C24s onto my bike and ordered a new Ultegra cassette with them. The existing chain and cassette have done about 850 miles on the old wheels.
Would you swap the old cassette onto the new wheels so that the chain/cassette wear consistently, or put the new cassette on?
The cassettes are the same ratios.

I would swap the current ones over and save the new cassette then put the new cassette on when you eventually replace the chain.Yellow is the new Black.0

+1. Wear in the drivetrain is nowt to do with the actual wheel so there is no more reason to replace the cassette when you change the wheel than there was before you changed the wheel!Faster than a tent.......0 -
Cool. Just to be clearer, the reason for the new cassette is that the old wheels will still get used in poorer weather/winter. I'll simply put the new cassette on those.0
