Shimming centerlock rotors

[NHAero]

I'd like to get the rotors on my 700C wheels to be in the same alignment as the ones on the 650B wheels so I don't need to fuss with the calipers when swapping. I can find shims by November Wheels - a pack of four 0.25mm shims is $16.00, and shims by Cat3Bits - a two pack of 0.5mm shims is $12.21 plus shipping from the UK.

Any feedback on either, or other suggestions? The ones from the UK look cool, not that one will see them once mounted!

Thanks!

I used the November shims (bag of 4) on my CLD Boyd wheels. They work just fine. I only had to shim the back wheel to make it match with my 6 bolt WI XMR wheelset.

You might check an LBS. CLD shims have more uses than CLD.

I found these too, but then figured out that these seem to be washers used between lockring and hub. ID is 31mm, whereas the shims need to be >35mm to pass over the portion of the hub that the rotor slips onto.

Saw these mentioned in a weightweenies post - basically the same sort of idea, just way cheaper:

That thread suggests cassette spacers, which I'd also wondered about. They have to be snipped like the November shims to pass the splines. I'll look carefully at this tonight since I'm sure I have some of those around.

Thanks!

I took a 0.5mm cassette spacer, Dremeled a cut so it could be sprung over the splines, and it worked perfectly.
