Quick question about rear wheel interchangability

Quoted message said:

I've got a few questions. Like many of you out there, I've got a set of "training" wheels and a set
of "race only" wheels. The annoying part is that its a major hassle switching between the two,

becuase I innevitably have to re-adjust the rear derailleur to get proper

shifting each time I do. Is there a way to compensate for this? For the record, the hubs are
Shimano Exage on the training set and American Classic on the racing set.

First make the cassette or freewheel cog spacing the same. Then make the spacing on the wheels
identical. This will mean shifting spacers around on the axles until the hubs match and then
correcting the dish. Fiddly but you only have to do it once. Phil Brown

On one of the hubs, put a spacer on before the first cog so that the small cog is in the same place
for both wheels.

If the hubs are different and place the cogset even a wee bit differently in relation to your rear
mech, a der adjust is going to,probably be necessary. Only by using same manufacture hubs will you
not have this 'problem'...

But if the hub is built for a Shimano cassette, wouldn't it make sense to space it exactly as a
Shimano hub is?

I have two rear wheels, since it is always a good idea to have a spare just in case. I also have
different cassettes on them, so I can grab the wheel more appropriate to the day's ride. Thankfully
the hubs are by the same manufacturer, so I never have to adjust the derailleur just to swap wheels.

That's what I was thinking and why I said it was an annoyance, not a 'problem'.

Actually I have one set (of "riding" wheels) but;

Have an adjuster with discrete increments, and count them.
