I have spare wheels which I intend to carry to races with Muds (Beavers on). Thing is, they are heavy:
Race wheels = 1450g with quaxar rotors, ron/ralph tubeless
Mud / spare wheels = 2100g with XT rotors Beaver/Beaver ...and the rear beaver won't stay up tubeless so I need to slam a tube in.
So, if it rains and I need the Beavers, how much is this extra 2lb nearly going to hurt?
37
Just swap to the beavers on the other wheels?
Takes 5 minutes if you use the tubes and will save you at least a pound...
24.837%
Nah, your both mistaken. It's clearly in the 47.726 - 48.429 range.
Roughly eight and a half places.
I think you worry too much.
No.
Get over yourself and accept that your finishing position accurately reflects your ability and fitness at this time.

Things is, I'm doing rather well at the moment Rorschach, so a set of mud shod wheel already 2lbs overweight will have an impact.

Why didn't I think of that. It means losing the tubeless jizz but that's a lot less cheaper than the proper spare wheelset I probably should buy...
It makes sense, obviously last minute tubeless set up could be a faff but if they are only back up then tubes should be OK, also saves swapping cassette and aligning brakes for new wheels etc
