Let's talk wheels...

It's an area where my head just seems thick. I want to get some 700c wheels that are campy compatible (10 speed).

I really have never paid attention to wheels. I have some bikes with the original arayas from the early 80's. But I also have a pair of deep v's set up for shimano. I like these wheels. I can feel a difference in them.

So, I can barter for some 700c wheels here on BF and have them remade for campy. I've heard it's not great for wheels to be remade.

I can order new rims and have them custom made. If I do that, why are the deep v's so much less expensive than other brands?

Next, do the wheels need to know if they're going to be used on a 10 speed? Are they dished differently?

What else do I need to know?
