Have a pair of Rev-X’s… old but still good.
An older pair of DA hubs w/ opem pro rims. too many mile to count. Rebiult hubs a billion times
One year old Velocity Xeros.
Need to train on one, sell a bike with another, and keep an extra set for kicks… maybe sell them…
I was thinking I would race on the rev’s next year, seeing as their good wheels and I dont want to plunk down a grand for something else… or should I plunk?
Keep the DA/Open Pros for training and ditch the rest. Gte yourself a new (or new to you) set of race wheels. You can do it for a lot less than a grand if you don’t mind used.
so sell the other bike with the rev’s or the xeros? then sell the others seperate?
The RevX will probly fetch abut $300 on Ebay, so the question is, will they also increase te value of the bike you are selling by that much.
If you decide to keep the Rev-X make certain it’s their newer model with the standard shimano-hub model. The old ones have a hub-that’s impossible to get and very prone and weak and will have failures. The new one will last forever and is easily replaced. Hence it’s not the hub its the stuff holding the cassette, I don’t know the english word for it.

I don’t think you can have too many sets of wheels. The Rev-X has a bad reputation but I’ve never ridden one or seen one fail. I like to set my extra wheels up with various gearing and tire options. A training set, a lighter set with with lower gears for climbing, maybe one sturdy set for crappy roads…you get the idea. I guess it depends on how much a particular wheelset will get you a better sale price for your bike. I’d be tempted to unload the Rev-Xs with the bike.
dunno, my xero lites (stock wheels on the tcr2) aren’t even sealed so the cones get trashed after a good mud/rain ride. I’m waiting for something more serious to happen so I can just get a pair of open pros laced to normal hubs…
