I approach this problem by having multiple wheelsets … attached to multiple bikes. They’re all set up and ready to go with nothing more than adding a little air to the tires. I have everything from 20-inch wheels on my folder to 26” (Raleigh Superbe) to 650B (Bleriot) to multiple variations of 700c and 28-inch (Pashley). There’s even a 27-inch wheel in there (on my Nicoletti town bike). Plenty of variety, fendered and not.
