Wheel Upgrade - recommendations?

[zoom-zoom]

I highly recommend custom wheels if you have someone out in your
area who does that. If not, it may be worth talking to "my" fantastic
custom gal, to see if she can work long distance. I love my wheels.
Good luck.

I've actually contemplated building my own...DH did that for the set on his road bike. I'd love to do velocity wheels in a funky color.

PM Wahine for a reference to her SO, Tom. He is a highly regarded wheel builder. I would definitely go the handbuildt route. Better bang for your buck. Plus, you can get exactly what you need for your weight, riding style and conditions.

Between my Mavic freehub failure and reading about other TE'rs having theirs fail, I'd go with something other than a Mavic hub whichever way you go.
