I'll spare all the details, but I have a set of Mavic Carbones, clincher, the alum ones with the faux CF fairing, that for weight reasons are not going to be used on road bike anymore.
Anyhow, I am planning on building up a track bike sooner or later, and a team mate mentioned I should atleast hang on to the front wheel for that bike. Thing is I know jack about what would be good for a track bike. So in a nutshell, are the front or set worth hanging onto for track or would it better to sell them off (as planned) and go a different route when this bike comes to fruition? I used my google skills and can't find anybody mentioning these wheels and a velodrome in the same sentence.
