I feel like it's one of those things everyone talks about doing but no one can actually be arsed / wants to pay out for.
So chapeau for actually doing the thing.

It wasn't exactly a planned thing. I kinda ended up with a spare wheel from a TCR build so I had a front made and that meant the missus got a matching set of nicer road wheels instead of the hefty ones that came with the bike. I bought a set of 650B wheels to see what all the fuss was about. Then got given a set of Fulcrums that became the Tripsters road set. Then bought her a Bokeh with 650B wheels.
Now the plan is to 'retire' the Tripster and Sequoia to Poland, both with 650B wheels and she'll use the Bokeh as her road/gravel bike with the 2 x 700C wheelsets.
I won't have a gravel bike for a while but have MTBs and will look at getting something like the Crux or Vitus and then maybe deconstruct my 650B dynamo wheel and have it built 700C and then build a new 700C gravel rear. That way, all the bikes in Poland are 650B and all the bikes here are 700C.
She's gonna bring back the CX bike I have in Poland and that can be a temp replacement for the Tripster/pub bike until I get the flash thing.

Exactly this, not many people actually go through the faff of changing wheels, which may need changing pads if the rotors remain.

Eh? I run 700C road wheels and 650B gravel wheels in the Tripster and my missus runs 700C road wheels and either 650B gravel or 700C gravel wheels in her Sequoia.
I thought multiple wheelsets was a pretty normal thing to do.

Or do you mean a manufacturer supplying two sets of wheels WITH the bike? In which case, no, never heard of that, but we're bike nerds, we can buy our own second wheelset.
