OTOH, I don't see how he could go wrong with the Aksiums for $180.
The 223's weren't poorly built, they were just 'not premuim'; as I don't have my bike in front of me, I can't verify, but IIRC, the 819's are 28-spoke. Was going to mention that, I think I had a child distracting me during my last post.
A wide variety of experience enabled me to recommend those wheels; I just throw in anecdotes when I feel it's appropriate, or when I want to.
