Thank you for the link, Dobber!

http://www.jensonusa.com/store/produ...+Wheelset.aspx

I've been looking around, and this set above has me curious. DT Swiss double butted 32ct spokes, Shimano XT hubs, and WTB FX28 rims. Any opinions on the FX 28 rim for strength? The complete setup isn't quite as heavy as that Rhyno setup, but its certainly not as light as the 400 dollar wheel setup I mentioned earlier.

Obviously I'd love the 400 dollar setup, but that's pricey. The Sun Rhyno is priced much more attractively, but is there any reason the link I just posted from Jenson USA wouldn't fit the bill? Hopefully I'll get this all "finalized" soon and buy parts within the month. No hurry though, we managed to get above freezing for the first time weeks...be a while before I *want* to be out on the bike anyways!

Thanks guys. I've come a long way in learning about this. ^_^
