I've had "extra wheelsets" for bikes, but never used them. I just ride what I've got on the bike, and start fantasizing about getting another frame.
I could use a knobby wheelset for the Bontrager, but I kind of want a whole new bike for dirt (forward geometry singlespeed hardtail/rigid 29er). I do have the kickback/dynamo wheelset I could swap back onto the Quickbeam for the fixed/dynamo set on it now, but to make that worthwhile, I'd want to put on the BG RnR tires, which means removing the fenders, which seems like more work than I want to do for one weekend. More fun just to build up another bike!
