Looking into buying extra wheels for my trackbike. Want to replace really the stock 3-spokers. I doubt I would ever use the 3 spokers again as I can't imagine wanting to use them after going either the stock OEM 5 spoke or forged March aluminum 10 spoke route. The question then is what about brake rotors and all the other junk that is normally on the wheel?

If I lean towards always using the new wheels I get I assume I can just have all the stuff transferred over to the new wheels. Everything should be compatible?

If I decide to get stuff so that I have 2 sets of wheels ready to go I've heard not to buy used rotors. So I guess looking for advice if I go down this path.

Remember price matters since this is a track bike. So no Braketech rotors or anything like that.

everything is compatible from wheel to wheel.

from experience

, i would ONLY buy used rotors from someone i knew or someone that i fully trusted their reputation and offered to refund my money if there was a problem.

it's not that big of a deal in regards to effort or time, to transfer rotors and such to the new wheel so if you don't want to spend the money on two sets of rotors don't worry about it. i don't think i could justify the cost unless i was racing and needed a set in the pits ready to go at a moments notice.
