I wouldn’t mind having a second set of wheels – one with more aggressive off-road tires – say a 90% off-road tire (like IRC BR-99 or Michelin AC-10), for when I’m just riding to a trail and coming back. But for longer highway trips and gravel, I would probably just put TKC80s on the bike for longevity. I could then just swap them as needed. Issue is that if you want a spoke wheel with hubs and rotors the prices are rather high – in the thousands usually. Anyone know where I can find a set of wheels at reasonable prices?
Ebay, Our own ODSC forum, http://www.odsc.on.ca/.xenforo/index.php?forums/equipment-spares-bike-trailers.8/ and if you have a Honda, try OEM, it was surprisingly cost effective when I bought a new front wheel years ago. Speaking from experience: XR650R with 3 sets. one AC10 front+trackmaster rear, one set of Kenda 270, and one Supermoto set, all of them totally underutilized but nice to have.
Are Supermoto Wheels an option for you? Someone in Ottawa is selling a Warp9 set for $1500. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-motorcycle-p...0l/1108428868?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true
