I was fortunate enough to upgrade my bike this year and now have some sweet carbon wheels and tubular tires. But I don't want to use them for training if I can avoid it. Is pretty much my only option swapping out my brake pads every time I swap wheels or is there a better option?

Or should I just say the hell with it and train in the wheels I race on.

Any input would be appreciated. They are my first set of carbon wheels and want to make sure they last and don't get abused (except on race day).

Thanks!
