NC29 wheels on an NC23

Can someone tell me if the rims off an NC29 will fit straight onto an NC23??

Im contemplating swapping my wheels over so I can ride my 23....but only if it's an easy swap.

Mate it's well documented on here.

The front is a straight swap.

The rear you need the spacers from the 29 machined down 1mm each side and you also need the sprocket carrier.

On the rear of the caliper hanger there is a moulding blob that needs to be filed flat.

Other than that you should be good to go. Search the search function and you'll find some photos

I figured as much. I knew the front wheel would be a straight swap but wasn't so sure about the rear.

To be honest I don't find the 'search' function on this site that flash, hence why I just started the thread.

You've answered my question though, so cheers for that!

You should only need to turn down the spacer on the sprocket side, the one on the caliper side remains as is.

also dont forget that you are reducing the rear ride height as well.
