Re: Why the different axles lengths?

But then you have to take the tires off the rims to rotate them. Neitherthat, nor the spacers sounds like a good option to me.

How much work is it to swap one axle or the other? Can it be done in a day, if the proper donor axle is used (say, complete from drum to drum, or rotor to rotor)?
