I have a custom set with specs that were recommended by Sadie Kate and Jobob. Velocity Aerohead rims, Sapim double butted spokes (20 1x front, 24 2x rear) and White Industries hubs. My husband has basically the same wheelset, too, but with Wheelsmith spokes). We both love them and they have been maintenance free. Both were built my master wheelbuilders. There's nothing all that bling about them (although I do think the hubs are pretty), but I wasn't going for that look anyway.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
