Hey Gang:
I saw the new Cervelo P Series launched with an ALL Disc Brake line up. I believe several other brands are going all disc as well.
As a guy who live's in So Cal (I very rarly ride in bad weather) and been in the sport for 15 years and reasonably thrifty with bikes purchases (I am 6'4" so my size keeps a lot money in my pocket). I am curious about wheel ownership strategies for the new disc world.
Me: 2 bikes, 3 wheels sets with Powertaps:
Tri Bike typical rotation is training Aluminum Velocity box rims and racing on Profile Design 24 58/78. I like training on heavy and slow, plus I will not cry over a $200 box rim if damaged in training.
Road Bike Reynolds Assaults (or whatever they called them in 2017 when I bought them from Performance)
All wheels can and have cycled across all bikes for various reasons. (Morning Flat, Broken Spoke, or just wanted to change wheels for kicks).
So with disc is it the same? or is it 1 training / race wheel set all the time? If training and race wheels separately how do make that decision? Do the brakes have to be the same etc etc etc..
Just curious, as I know I will not have a dog in this fight for several years hopefully.
