Swopped over a Chris King axle are purchasing a wheel off classifieds thought thats an easy job looked on the CK website and it said that a little dishing would be required.
Swopped over and it looked like a lot of dishing was required so decide to give it to my local bike shop to sort.
Picked it up and decided to fit tyres,rotor tonight after a few beers,then noticed my error as the preloader was on the wrong side cursing as that ****s up my Saturday rideas Sunday is a no go.
Tempted to redish now 😕

I take it the axle isn't symmetrical? I can't remember. I know mine required quite a bit of re-dishing when I went from 24mm to 15mm.
