I just had a go-every-where wheelset built with silver White Industries hubs MI5 front hubs and silver White Industries T11 H3 rear hubs, HED. C2 rims, silver Sapim CX-Ray spokes (front and rear 32spokes laced3x), silver brass nipples. I have been riding around salt farms where there are salt crystals and gravel on the roads and thus wanted a set with brass nipples. This wheelset probably will come in at 1620 grams and probably will be bomb-proof.

We decided that the silver White Industries hubs MI5 front hubs would be a nice match for the silver White Industries T11 H3 rear hubs.

My other training+go-every-where wheelset was built with black White Industries hubs H2/H3 hubs, HED. C2 rims, black Sapim CX-Ray spokes (f28lacedx2, r32lacedx3), black DT-Swiss Hex Pro-lock alloy nipples. These weighed in at 1560 grams. I am using Vittoria Ultralight Butyl inner tubes and Vittoria Open Pave CG 24mm tires (that expanded to 25.7mm on the wheel at 100 psi front and 105 psi rear). I have put on 4000 miles in 6 months and riden everywhere in Thailand, including salt farm roads with plenty of salt crystals and gravel from the salt trucks (and am now worried about the alloy nipples). They have remained as true, straight, and solid as the first day that I received them - knock on wood. I will probably have them measured for trueness at 10K miles. I weigh 200lbs.
