Hi all.

I'm sure there's a post on hear about this but I can't find it. Am looking for some advice.

I want to upgrade my wheels and keep the originals (Planet X Superlight 10sp hubs with SRAM cassette) for training/rollers. Not sure what I'm upgrading to yet, but my question is if I continue to use a SRAM 10sp cassette on the new wheels will i be able to switch the wheels over regularly without experiencing shifting issues and having to re-adjust the mech everytime I swap them over? If it helps I was looking at upgrading to Fulcrum or Shimano.

Any advice would be greatly appeciated.

    there's no guarantee, but if the shifting needs a tweak with the barrel adjuster it'll be consistent so after you've done it once you'll know to give it 3 or whatever steps in/out when swapping over

    the other thing to consider is brakes, if the rims are different width you may need to adjust the clearance, it'll probably be doable with the adjusters, so again just a few seconds work
