Shimano Nexus 7 with 700c clinchers?
Does anyone make 700c clincher wheels with the Shimano Nexus 7 rear hub? I'd prefer some nice 36-spoke, 3-cross, deep-V rim wheels. Thanks.

I bought a Nexus-4 /700C set on ebay. At least one Raleigh comfort model has come equipped with Nexus-4 700C wheels.
Very common to see Nexus-4/700C
You could certainly get a wheel building bike shop to make you one if some manufacturer doesn't allready put that combo together.
Nexus-7 seems to be disappearing with the new Nexus-8 hubs, so you may have only a short time left if you have a reason to go with 7 rather than 8.

They'll probably have to be custom built. Easy to do. I built up a nexus-7 on velocity aeroheads for a light-touring bike a couple years ago. Turned out great. I have a commuter using a similar setup, and all my kids use the nexus-7 as well.

8 has a slightly wider range and supposedly better weight and resistance. I've been thinking of trying one, but they're expensive and I don't like the shifter option.
