I need to dump one of my wheelsets that I have lying around to fund another purchase. I have a Tricross that I just bought that has the Roval Pave wheels that are nearly new and a set of AC420's with about 3500 miles on them that are perfectly true that were my main road wheels for the last little bit.
Obviously the 420's are much lighter, but being new to the cyclocross scene I'm not sure if they'd be a good option for my main training/racing wheelset or cyclocross at all. FWIW I'm about 180lbs right now and looking to drop another 10lbs right away this season before the fall. I'm worried if they can take the abuse.
What would you do? Can the 420's be a reliable cross wheelset or should I ditch those and stay with the Pave's that came on the bike fore now?
