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

I have one bike with a tubie wheelset and a clincher wheelset. I prefer
the tubies in the winter, because they ride super soft from the get-go.
Also, being backed up with a clincher wheelset keeps me rolling if I need
to change a tubular tire (Stan's will keep me rolling for about a month
I never realized the tubular/clincher purpose behind 700C! The idea of
event vs every day wheels does make some sense to me. I think it's less
applicable for me as I wouldn't feel comfortable building up a super-light
wheelset at my weight but it would make sense for alot of riders I know.
I, too, am tempted by fatbikes. Especially since I live in IA with snowy
winters. But I'd be willing to spend $500 or so on a used one, not the
$1500 or more for a new one.
Trek, Specialized, and others released fatbikes this year. Hopefully that
means I'll start seeing more used ones pop up

This is my Hunqapillar's second winter and it is stabled in my unheated
garage and done just fine in Colorado winters. We get cold spells that can
be well below zero for a week or two total each year (-20˚F is generally
the bottom end). I ride it at those temps too. No worries.

I think the theory is better than the practice. Usually, it seems the rims
or gearing don't quite match up, so I have to adjust shifting or the brake
pads when changing wheels. At that point, it's faster just to change the
tires... or ride a different bike.

If I want a different ride, usually it is more than just wheels and tires. Like

Not only will the frame condense water inside it, after suddenly bringing a
cold bike into a warm, humid house, but the hubs will, too. This has led to
premature bearing failure. So, let them stay cold. Leather and rubber last
longer in the cold and dry, anyway!

I like the IDEA of swapping wheelsets for different surfaces, but I never
do it.
I have two bikes that can use the same wheels (Quickbeam and Ross, 120mm

(multi-month) switch, and I've only ever put IGH hubs on the Quickbeam

They swapped out without any adjustments to anything.

We just tested the tires and recorded the results – I only can offer
hypotheses why the tires behave that way. A likely explanation is that the
decrease in hysteretic losses becomes smaller once you exceed a certain
pressure, but the suspension losses still increase with higher pressures.

Wheel sizes, hub lengths, bike clearance always make it less doable than
