NC29 wheels on NC23

[DK-Tandy]

is the any changes requires such as brake calipers etc or are they just a straight swap??

Front is a straight swap.

For the rear you need the 29's carrier/spacers and disc.

On the 23's rear brake carrier there is 2 casting dimples on the inside. These can catch on the 29's disc, making it a pain to fit the wheel so file them flush and bingo but it does drop the back end a little

I was going to say search or link you to a previous thread, but 'NC29', 'rear' and 'wheel' are "too common words".

not being so familiar with the 23 back end, is there a thread with pics of the brake carrier and the issues you mentioned??

i know im being lazy but why search when you can just ask

My NC29 rear is a very tight fit, I've developed a 'knack' to get it in, so let me know if you're struggling.

yeah i have a NC23, doesnt mean i know it inside out..

if the conversion is done, which chain and sprockets do i buy? i would say a NC29 one, but do i need to mix?

cheers..
am looking to swap the NC23 wheels for NC29 ones on Hybrid..

The 23 front is better as it's lighter so you could just leave it unless you want matching spoke pattern F/R.

[leopard_pagan]

Need them matching.
