My rationale for this is simple: I want to buy a pre-made wheel using a heavy-duty rim, and I'd prefer to get it in 130mm so I can use it with a standard aluminum road frame. I can get a set of 32-spoke Mavic 319s laced to Deore XT hubs for $200 on eBay, but that would require me to spend a lot more on the frame - I was hoping to use the $150 ($130 if they have another 20% off sale) Nashbar touring bike frame.
