a little OT.... depends I guess. I have a CK headset on one of my bikes and the darn thing comes loose rather often.... and its a bit of a butt pain when your head set comes loose. I've never had this happen on any other bike.

more on topic. Custom built wheels don't necessarily have to be expensive either. I have customs on my rain bike because it would cost just as much to get a decent set of hard wearing prebuilt wheels. My rain bike rims take a pretty good beating and need to be replaced fairly often (more than I really like...), but the hubs are perfectly fine. I think it cost me around $300 for the pair, and that was with buying a front hub (the one I had for the front had too low a spoke count to take anything but lighter weight rims - not what I wanted for this bike)
