my back wheel got hit by a car so now i need to build a new one, im in between getting some reynolds recons for 500$ or building a low flange dura-ace hub to sapin cx-rays to a velocity a23. the wheel will be for track and street use, any opinions?

I would not recommend running Dura Ace looseball hubs on the street.

even if it is only a fair weather bike? i had read that as long as you dont take them into the rain they will hold up fine

They hold up fine in the rain and out of the rain. If you use them n the rain its wise to repack them now and thats not very hard to do.

good to know, how well will carbon hold up to street use

Dura ace hubs has no problem on the street. I've been running mine for 2 years now. Repack the bearings here and there, replace the balls about half as often, rain, shine, snow, sand, grit no issues at all.

And tbh I haven't been at all impressed with velocity rims for a while now, but this new one actually has promise. Seems a bit more refined and researched than most the stuff they have been selling for the last few years.
