If you're selling, I'd use CL and hope to sell to someone who doesn't know better.

Great to hear that you'll be building up your own wheels...something I'll be doing as well before too long if all goes as planned. Wheel building is fun.

These are the 2010wheels. Their shouldnt be any problems. The paired spoke design along with customers not paying attention to spoke tensioning would cause these aforementioned problems. I had to warranty 20-30 wheels in the past 3 years. I have also seen Bonty Selects (most notorious of them all) to last 5 years without problems.
