It's entirely up to you. Depends what your wheels are for, you might want different ratios for different wheelsets, or you might just want the ease not not having to swap the cassette over.I fear this might be a stupid question but since I am fairly anonymous on here...
I'm getting a spare (good) set of wheels and wondered whether people changed cassettes when they changed wheels or permanently had a cassette on each rear wheel?
Depends, when I got the last set new I did put a new cassette/chain on it but when I borrowed a bike recently and transferred the new wheel to that, I used their existing cassette off the original wheels rather than fit a new chain as they told me it was quite new.I fear this might be a stupid question but since I am fairly anonymous on here...

FWIW I would do the same.Just ordered a new cassette and chain - only £25 all in. It's worth it to me as I'll change the wheels every week and don't want to be faffing around.
