Better to use now or leave the same and save?
I have these sew up rims with campy record hubs, and I was wondering if it would be better to put these hubs on a new rim to use on my bike now, or if I should leave them alone and pull them out 20 years from now and see if they are worth anything? Heres some pictures. Sorry about them being so big.

I say ride them. I ride my Motobecane Grand Jubile on a set of those Araya aero rims with Mavic hubs but my rims are polished aluminum & don't have the anodized finish like yours. Don

Oops, missed that they are sewups!, mine are clinchers. You may want to save those sewups for special rides unless you don't mind the glue-up & patching hassles.

They leak air, and I really dont want to ride on sewups. I dont ever plan to ride them.
