When I was racing, I had at least a few sets of wheels. It will be ideal i f you can choose diffrent set of wheels for riding occasions. For instance, we had a heavy urgry beater for practice rides, and racing day use nice clean light weight (felt gain power back!).

For show off occasion, (rides IS not matter?), enjoy showing off the origina l collectable set.

I think you should have more than one set for your ride needs, as you have different pairs of shoes???

Have a great day,
