+1 to using lighter weight spokes on the NDS of bikehubstore hubs. They have an extreme offset that otherwise produces wheels with a very low NDS tension. I'd recommend a locking type spoke prep there, too.

I've used the Wide front hub and like it. It builds up to a very light and stiff wheel and the price is great.
How about the Rotaz rear hub? It has of an offset and from everything I have read it is the same hub American Classic uses.

For quite a bump up in price I also like White Industries H2 or H3.
