1x light alloy road: pacenti sl23 / cxray / bhs
1x road trainers: kinlin xc279 / laser+race / bhs
1x road roller wheels: old shimano factory wheels
1x road tubulars: kinlin tb25 / laser+race / bhs
1x carbon track tubulars: chinese carbon / race / miche track
2x alloy track clinchers: factory wheels from felt i think
2x 26er alloy mtb: mavic / dt comp / XT
1x old tubular stretching rims: ancient wheels that my dad used to ride in the mid-70s
=
15 wheelsets to service 6 bikes. and then a menagerie of single wheels from broken sets that lie around taking up space.

the tubulars don't see much use. I'm pretty crap at gluing them so i don't have heaps of faith in them. I'd like to try again with an ambrosio or something a little wider.

5 wheelsets for 3 bikes. Summer/racing bike, winterbike and crossbike.

Thats plenty. I don't get why some feel the need to show off their 5-6 Envewheels or other expensive wheels. No one cares. Even the OP just wanted to justifie to buy another wheelset.
