Bikes: Too many. Giant Trance X 29, Surly Midnight Special get the most time.

A lot of companies have interchangeable freehub bodies, but often require ordering a separate campagnolo freehub body which raises the total cost. Some brands sell direct and will swap to a Campagnolo body. Kingston's recommendations both look pretty good honestly. Depending on what distributors your shop works with they might be able to build you up a reliable set of wheels at a reasonable price. For example, JBI has Origin8 RD1100 hubs with Campagnolo freehub bodies, retail is around $85. Matching front hub is $60. DT R460s at $50 each. Assuming $1 spokes and $60 labor per wheel, you'd be looking a hair under $400. If your shop does quality wheel work this would be a reliable option with local support.

Edit: shoot, missed your post. That's a very well specced wheelset, sweet.
