If the goal is to avoid the cost of $60 tubulars, buying a new wheelset isn’t going to be cost effective. Not only will the cheapest new wheels cost a multiple of that, the tools to switch out he cassette will cost close to $60.

Your most cost effective answer may be to sell the bike, and buy another used bike with clincher tires.

Or learn how to repair tubular tires.
ok, thanks. i'll think about it
