• A pain in what sense? Do you mean if you want hassle-free wheelswaps mid-race and want to duplicate the hub/wheel spacing on the second set? If you're running tubeless set up well this really shouldn't be an issue. You won't need multiple wheelsets for your CX bike, just a selection of tyres. I'm only offering practical-skewed thoughts so happy to quiet down if you have different ideas. It's just I think getting a cx bike with decent clearance and dependable drive chain is all you need to find out whether you have the heart and the legs for CX.
