I ride a WTB Rocket Stealth saddle. It is not a wsd. I really like it, very comfortable, I never notice a sore butt after 4 hour rides. It is a narrow saddle, and I am able to get off and behind it for those steep downhills. Everyone I know who rides a WTB loves it.
I have Hayes brakes. I just replaced the pads and adjusted the calipers, a very easy process. A friend has Juicy sevens and she said replacing pads is a real pain in the behind.
Bontrager makes a nice wheelset - Race Lite- for much less than the Mavics. Their Race X Lites are closer to the Mavic price, but still about 100 less. (I have Mavics Crossmax and they LOOK awesome, but $$$!!!! They came stock on my Trance 1.)
