Second set of Wheels and Forks

Gray172

I've just bought a C456 frame to replace my old Felt Q620 which I currently use as a training/light XC bike but I've recently wanted a long travel hardtail to hit the steeper stuff. The current plan is to put the Reba RL forks and Mach1 sub zero wheels (along with drive train etc...) on the new frame for the XC. Then buy a pair of Sektor forks and a stronger set of wheel for the steeper stuff and just swap over, when needed. I'm undecided wheather to go for the coil or air Sektors or even spend a bit more and get the Revelations. It's pretty much the same for the wheels as I'm looking at these:

Or do I just sell the Felt as is and spend the money Revelations and Stans and only have the one set?

Thanks.

I'd go for one set - changing forks and wheels depending on what you are going to ride sounds like a faff and you will probably end up just using whatever is on there when you want to go riding.

I'd only go for the two sets if you are going to use it for xc racing and freeride with the one frame or something where the disparity of uses justifies it but if you were xc racing you'd probably have kept the felt!

I'd sell the Rebas and get a pair of Uturn or dual position Revelations/Sektors. Stans Arch will suffice as a good allrounder, so no need for two pairs of either really. IE this:

Well the Felt frame is about 4-5 years old and showing signs of wear and I would have probably bought the On- One Whippet for XC racing. The bike is used for pleasure at the moment but I would be more interested in gravity enduro than XC competions.

I currently have two sets of wheels at the min the other set has slicks on. I don't find it too much of a faff to swap them over, but then add in taking off and putting back on the stem and brake caliper it might start to get annoying. But then it won't be evey weekend that I would sawp them.
