Niobium 30 rim

White Industries H1 rear hub, 24 hole
24 Sapim CX-Rays 3x
Niobium 30 rim

I have not put enough miles on the set to test the White H1 hub over the long term, but it appears to be of extremely high quality. The wheelset is VERY stiff and fast. This is about the lightest moderately-expensive wheelset I would use for daily training rides...
What are the tradeoffs of the Sapim's vs. Wheelsmith XE14? Are they aero?

Why did you decide on the White Industries H1 rear hub? (They are gorgeous.)
