I want two sets of wheels for convenience at DH races, and the only thing stopping me from using the ones off of my hardtail is that my DHi is 150x12 and my hardtail 135x10.
Occurs to me though, I could get this working, need 3 things:
1) a 150 x 10mm axle
2) new axle holders (DHi has reversible 12mm ones to alter chainstay length, so I need reversible 10mm ones).
3) 15mm spacer to sit between axle and frame
4) 15mm spacer to space my disc out in line with my caliper.
Seems a bit shady, especially #4, whaddya think? I could try and space on the cassette side instead, especially since I have a 7speed-on-9speed-spacing cassette with a bunch of spacers behind it at the moment.
I suppose from a dishing point of view I should get a 7.5mm spacer on either side instead of 15mm on one or the other.
That could work nicely since I could simply put 7.5mm worth of spacers in front of my cassette on the 150mm hub, and when I put the 135mm hub + spacer in put the cassette spacers behind instead, thus leaving my chainline/gears unaffected.
Then I need a 7.5mm spacer between my hub and rotor. Game on!
