The other issue is that at some point Campagnolo changed their freehub design. I don't know how that affects supporting your bike, but it may be something to consider. Or, if you're using old style freewheels, find a hub that could be upgraded.
Anyway, if you have a good bike shop, they should be able to build a new wheel almost as easily as maintaining an old one. Talk to they about what they'd require from you. Stripping the old wheel (after removing the cassette?)
I'm changing the hubs so I can get a higher spoke count. I'm leaning to towards a 32 holes. The ones I currently have is more of a race wheelset, and that's not how I'm using this bike. It still feels pretty racey, but I have a rack on it and it's my everyday rider.
