Hallo. :D

I have 3 sets of wheelsets for my Tarmac SL7 (Ultegra di2): training wheel, aero wheel and climbing wheel. :)

For the rear brake all disc rotos are in center of the pads and no rubbing.

For the front brake the climbing wheel touches the left pad (when looking at it from above). The aero and training wheel do align nicely in between.

I have rotor spacers for but they of course move the disc just more to the left. I also already tightend the disc rotor as much as I can.

Do you have any tip which allows me to swap wheels easily? Without aligning the whole caliper every time?

Or should I add spacers to the aero/training wheel and move the caliper by 0.5mm to get them to work all?

What you say at the end...align for the climbing wheels and space out the other two.

It's the only way unfortunately, you can't make the hub or rotor mount any narrower so you just have to make the others wider

I used some 6 bolt discs with Centerlock adaptors and found I could sand down the adaptor to make it align with my other wheels.
