I've spent about an hour looking over search results for threads on wheels in this forum and still have questions.

So far I've learned the following:

• Velomine is a good place to order from
• 32h seems to be a favored spoke setup
• Formula hubs are well liked. (are formula hubs better than dura ace hubs?)
• Using a front road wheel is lighter than front track wheel
• Aluminum nipples are weak

My goal is to find a set of wheels that are lighter than what I have currently:

Alex SUB Aero Profile Rim, 32H, Double Wall w/ CNC Sidewalls <-- I have no idea how much these weigh

Budget can be up to $400. I'm fairly lightweight (140lbs) and these wheels will be going on a non-commuter bike so I don't need heavy duty wheels that can take curb jumping or pothole pounding. So my criterias are:

1) under $400 for both wheels.
2) front and rear wheels don't need to be a matching set if it's true that using a front road wheel is lighter than a track wheel.
3) lightest possible (what is considered "lightweight" for a wheel anyways? under 500g/wheel?)


I found this set on velomine:

^ Are the dura ace hubs better than formula hubs?
Should I get just a rear track wheel and find a different front road wheel?
