Wheel sets to bikes ratio
How many wheel sets do you own? How many bikes?
Personally:
2 bikes (1 cx, 1 road)
4.5 wheelsets
the .5 is a rear XERO lite i use only on my trainer with trainer tire.

Regarding trainer wheels... is there any reason to worry about ruining a cassette by going from a road wheel to a trainer wheel on the same chain? From what I've gathered, if your chain is not worn then it should not be a problem, right?

2 bikes, 3 wheelsets.
The utility factor will increase eventually once I upgrade my 2nd bike to 10-speed.
