So....
My wife and I have four "sporting" bicycles between the two of us (I decline to include things like her 1983 Trek 620 with full Suntour Sprint, the Bianchi Milano, etc.). All four of them share a defining characteristic - they're Campagnolo 10-speed equipped. This is great, as it means we have full interchangeability in all components except cranks.
At present, we have four wheelsets, two clinchers, two tubulars:
Tubulars:
- Record 10 (black) with Ambrosio Nemesis tubulars (primary on my Colnago)
- Record 10 (black) with Mavic Reflex tubulars (primary on my Zanc and presently pushed into service on my Allez)
Clinchers:
- Record 10 (black) with Velocity Aerohead/Aerohead OC clinchers (primary on Ivy's Parlee)
- Chorus 10 (silver) with Mavic Open Pro (sort of go between my Colnago as a winter wheelset and sometimes go on the trainer and as spares)
It turns out I have a spare set of silver Chorus 10 hubs that I need to build up. But, pray tell, how shall I build them?
Initially, I had thought I would build another clincher wheelset, as I could then have a dedicated trainer wheelset and to have as a spare for Ivy's bike. But then I bought those Nemeses that CC had on sale, so I could just lace them to those cheaply. My next purchase is a fender bike, which should probably be shod with clinchers.
Oh, and I prefer to race on tubulars and Ivy doesn't like to ride tubulars (I think... we've never discussed it).
This should be a poll...
Anyway, paceline brethren, help a guy out. (BTW, First World problems, I know...)
