I have a set of 585's w/32 spoke Ultegra hubs, built by a local wheelbuilder (Sugar Wheel Works). Picked them up a year or so ago and have a few thousand miles on them - still rolling true (were checked by builder recently). They are heavy, but great durable rims. I was in the 260 range when I got them and now in the 240 range and am pretty hard on wheels.
