Swapping hubs on a mid-depth road carbon wheelset

(1/1)

noodleshop:
Hi all,

I have 2 carbon disc road wheelsets, one running DT350s and the other 370s (thru axle, centrelock) I would like to swap the hubs over. One wheelset is running DT Swiss spokes and alloy nipples, the other is on Pillar 1420 and Sapim Polyax alloy.

I know you can swap the internals, but for certain extraneous reasons I can't do that. To the best of my knowledge the hub shells are exactly the same dimensions so I think it should be a straight swap, and there won't be a need to change spokes.

I have access to a truing stand and nipple wrench, but not a spoke tension gauge at this point.

Would you guys have any advice on best practices to pull this off? Wouldn't want to ruin either wheelset.

Thank you all!
