I have two disc wheelsets - One is 6 bolt, and one is centrelock.
The front rotor of the 6 bolt wheel sits further inboard than the centrelock wheel. What is the best way to shim the rotor such that caliper alignment remains when switching between wheels? Is there a way of doing this which ensures solid, noise—free braking? I ask as I've read somewhere that shimming a rotor can introduce problems.
Also, any reliable way of measuring by how much distance the two rotors are out of alignment? Or is it pretty much just a case of trial and error? I'd imagine we're talking sub mm margins here, perhaps 1.5 mm absolute max
Many thanks!
Edit: Scrap the above. found a solution, in case anyone else is looking I've ordered these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Disc-Brake-Rotor-Shims-0-2mm-Fibrax/283442153394?epid=9024730372&hash=item41fe7807b2:g:tpkAAOSwp-Fcp4P4
since I need sub mm shimming. Oddly they come in packs of 10
