well I believe I can set it up for shimano or campy based per customer needs. As for the hubs I believe reynolds uses a generic hub modeled after the DT240's that come with their higher end wheels. the spokes are not bladed but there are benefits to that. also they come 20/24 spoke count so would support most heavy cyclist as well (with in reason of course) I did get some emails in regards to the price and if we can drive it lower. perhaps but the quantity of wheels sold would have to go up. I will contact tomorrow and see what we can do.
