Thank you so much! I want to keep these hubs because they are a part of a grouppo of the first generation of dura ace STI shifters. I have the complete group and would like to keep my bicycle in that condition. I want to upgrade the rims because they have the original mavic something or anothers which are all used up.

-First step. Dig out old bearings and see what I have sloshing around in there.
-Second step. If all is well, purchase bearings and do all hub work myself.
-Third step. Purchase new rims. Either Velocity A-23's or Kinlin XR 300's.
-Fourth step. Hand it all over to a wheel builder and ask him to order the correct size DT Swiss spokes.
-Fifth step. Pay more than I want to, and maintain happiness.

This plan couldn't possibly go wrong, could it?
