I know swapping wheelsets is faster than simply changing tires, but is it really THAT much faster, especially given the number of times in a year you're really going to swap for different purposes? I'm pretty sure I could change a pair of tires in the warmth and comfort of my shop in 10 or 15 minutes (not, as Steve P says, that I actually do that, afflicted as I am by the dread n+1 disease - multiple wheelset utility mooted by multiple bikes).
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tony DeFilippo Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2014 7:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [RBW] The Utility of Mulitple Wheelset's If you have them, how often do you take advantage of multiple wheelset's on a bike? So far in my bike tinkering I have usually been limited by multiple wheel sizes or rear drop outs to making each build a stand alone, frame specific function. I have this thought that significant interchangeability among multiple bikes would be some kind of nirvana... I'm curious to hear anyone who has it or has at some point had it on whether you really took advantage of it. Right now between 6 active bikes and a tandem (two are my wife's) I have 27"(1), 26"(2), 700C(2) and 650B(2) wheel sizes and 130/135 OLD represented, among those 3 or 4 bikes could fit the wheel's off of one other bike but in practice I'm not doing any wheel swaps as each one is built up and shod with a tire that matches the frame's intended function and I don't have any spare wheelset's at present.
