Right boys… here’s the scenario.
I’ve got a Spearfish…. i built from scratch.
I’ve got 2 sets of wheels, a pair of Giant S-XC 29 and a pair of Hope Pro2/Crest 29.
When i fit the Hopes and the rear mech is adjusted for hi/lo, then i get all 10 gears…. However, when i then fit the Giants, when i go for the big ring on the rear, it slips over the top and between the spokes/hub. So, i adjust the hi/lo, brining it so the Giant no longer does that, but then the Hopes don’t get the largest cog on the rear..
None of this is a major concern per se… but i like things RIGHT….
So, why are they aligned sightly differently, what can i do about it ?
I also notice this on the brakes too, they’re about 1mm-1.3mm out when swapping between wheels (rear only) and need a minor caliper alignment when swapping wheels… Again… this is more just curiosity than an actual issue.
So, i bought a 2mm cassette spacer (single speed type) to see if i could use that to move the Hopes cassette out about 2mm to sort the alignment, sadly, this meant the lock-ring didn’t work, so that was a no-go. So i was thinking of a 1mm cassette spacer instead ?
Any thoughts appreciated.
