Hi guys, Advise please. I recently bought my wife a secondhand road bike, that fit our budget. The bike was fitted with an old set of carbon Bontrager wheels with gatorskin tubbies on. A cycle shop in Stellenbosch gave them a decent service, replaced two bearings, and noted that they're 100% apart from that. The tubbies are at the end of their life. Off course I took the wheels and put them on my road bike. Not knowing tubbies for road (I'm more of a mountain biker, recently venturing into triathlons) I'm a bit sceptical to use them, seeing as you cannot quickly fix a tire, should the need arise. Also, I don't want to permanently cycle around with a spare tubby at R1000 a pop in my rear pocket. I see my options as the following: 1. Sell/trade the wheels for a decent set of clinchers. 2. Replace the tubbies (R2000) and get continue riding with them. 3. Replace the tubbies, get a cheap set of exercise wheels, and keep the tubbies as race wheels. Option 3 looks like a bit of a schlep, as I'll have to replace brake pads for races as well. Will also be the priciest option. So, which option would you say is best? And if I go for option 1, do you have any idea of what they'll be worth? Bad image of the wheels, I know.
