Looking to buy a cheap wheel, cassette and turbo tyre to avoid changing tyres all the time.
Thinking about having a different cassette to the existing one such that the gear changes are closer.
Will I have to keep re-indexing my gears if I do this? I.e. after every wheel swap.

    The dedicated turbo wheel is the best and easiest option and is no harder to change than any regular wheel. Done in less than a minute and with no DIY mechanical jobs to frustrate!

    You won't have to re index your gears if you have a different cassette ratio... but you might depending on the wheel/ hub you buy. For example, I had to re index my gears when I changed the wheels on my winter bike which had a set with a Formula freehub to a set with an Shimano Ultegra freehub. Might be better to check in the 'Workshop' area about this.
