Okay, by 'Budget, I am probably looking at less than $1000. That is not written in stone though. If it makes the difference, than I will save a little longer and make sure it is done right. I like Chris King hubs more for the aesthetics than the weight savings.

So if you were to look at building a set of wheels, would you put ___% into hub, ___% into rim, & ___% into spokes? I really was just curious what ratio I should look at. From what I am gathering, I could save money on the hubs by going with a Shimano hub, and then add some nice spokes and rims and would have a durable wheel, is this right?

I am thinking about DT Swiss spokes, but I am still open to hub suggestions.

Chris, I too have found mostly 32 hole rims so far.
