Besides all this I am now building frames and every bike that rolls out of our shop has hand built wheels and we aim for a build tolerance of 1/1000... they also come on hand built hubs that are guaranteed forever.
I.e. good hand-built wheels are better than most mid to high end machine built wheels.
