Hi all, I have a Scrambler on the way and some build questions. I have a set of road wheels with the quick release's. Is it possible to use those on the "track style" drop outs? If not I have been looking at these-

Mavic Open Pro, Formula hub, 32 spoke. Have a set of Speacialized All Condition Armadillo 700-28 that my road bike will lose to this build.
I am a 2nd time newbie. About 175 lb, hoping to hit 160-165. This bike will be used for commuting and bombing around near town. I've never been too hard on wheels. Will start with free wheel. I would prefer to save a bit of weight vs get more aero at the cost of weight. I used to love hammering the hills. Right now I am just getting in base miles so hopefully I can really do some hill work next summer. Not looking forward to winter!
I have an old Dura-Ace crankset, criterium bars, brake set, and couple of saddles to pick from. I like the single speeds simplicity and want a low maintainance, reliable, fun to ride, ride.
I picked up a Redline monocog 29er that will get it's knobbies back when the Scrambler gets built. It will be my cold weather walk the dogs bike.
Thanks in advance, MikeB
