yeah deep v and formulas are great, if you get a set that isnt built by hand (im pretty sure iro builds by hand but maybe they dont) take it to a shop and have them tension it up and make sure it is nice and true (probably run you about 20 bucks). That will help SO much. If they are built by hand ride them for a week or two and then take them to a shop for truing. if you cant get a deep v, try to get 36 spoke, if you can get them, 32 will be plenty good.
