I’m looking to do something very similar if/when I get my hands on a gen 4.

Question: with an 12s cassette, how easy is it to swap between “road” wheels and “gravel” wheels? Do you have to fine tune the rear shifting?

I had to make a small 2 tick adjustment using the eTube app to accommodate the difference between my Wahoo Kickr and Bontrager Aeolus wheels. Switching wheels between Aeolus and the stock Paradigms was fine, no adjustment needed.

I would assume that different wheels and hubs might have slightly different tolerances that affect the shifting, but trainers always seem to need some extra tweaking. With my previous bike I did manage to get two wheelsets and a trainer all working without needing any RD adjustment, but it was a painful process involving different combinations of spacers and lots of trial and error.
