I know all the Clydes love the deep V's for their strength and feel, as do the SS/FG people. I have a set of deep V's hooked up to current 7 speed hyperglide. I could get those rims relaced to campy hubs, but I've heard that this is not good for rims. But since these are new wheels, they should be able to withstand the relacing.
There's a bike swap meet in Mpls in a few weeks. I thought I'd go searching for my shifter/brake set-up there. Anything in specific I should keep my eyes open for?
You need either campy hubs, a campy rear hub with something else in the front, a campy-compatible rear hub, or a set of campy-compatible wheels, like lower-cost FSAs or Vueltas. I would look for a large number (32) of fine guage tightly strung spokes if you get a whole wheel. Also look for rims, or learn about rims.
