I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree with Reggie here. I say, if the wheels are nice you should keep them and build a new bike around them. To give you room (and the motivation to do so), you should send your current bike to me along with a $150 disposal fee...

oh this thread is so apt for me.
i swapped the wheels on 2 bikes around to see how they felt and it turns out i want to swap them permanently. The problem is the tyres are part of the whole theme of each bike. One is blue/yellow theme and the other is white/red. But now I have yellow tyres on the white/red and red tyres on the bue/yellow.
the tyres are so hard to put on they gave me blisters so i really don't want to swap tyres, but i look at the bikes and they look like they are sad.

Yeah, just don't put them in the same load of laundry together. The colors will bleed and you'll get a sissy looking frame and a grey looking wheel. Oh, and make sure you take the bar tape and tires off before you wash them too.
