Swapping Tires - Tubeless Setup
I have one wheelset (for now) with my allroad bike and I’m running it tubeless. I was considering the whole second wheelset thing but now I’m leaning towards swapping tires when I really want to, which may be only a handful of times a year, sticking to one wheelset:
- late fall, put on my winter tires (they’re on there now, tubeless, but I may even use tubes next winter)
- in the spring I would swap to my ‘summer’ tires, definitely tubeless and do my mixed surface rides
- maybe 1-2x in the summer I’ll want another tire (for an event or special trip)
I’ve set up tubeless once, and swapped wheels once. One wheel during the swap was easy, other had a tape issue and had to be re-taped.
While the above may be a bit of a hassle I like the idea of one wheelset, with some time spent swapping tires and possibly new tape or valves as needed, as part of what I’ll just deal with.
Anyone do this, or is the norm to use two wheelsets (even if infrequent changes like I’ve mentioned)?
