You might want to say how much you weigh, that will drive the wheel suggestions.
I have two pairs of those wheels for my Trek Portland. The only thing I dislike about my Portland is the wheels. They're too heavy, won't stay true and break spokes with regularity. And yes, I had one set completely rebuilt by a competent wheelbuilder. It lasted about twice as long before it started acting up.
When yet another spoke broke JRA in a paceline
last week, I bit the bullet and ordered parts for a new wheelset. Finding a 130mm rear hub for disc brakes was a real challenge. I don't know much about the hub I ordered, (a Velocity) but I'm sure I'll find out. I expect to save a pound (yes, 450 grams) from what the Bontrager Select Disc wheels weigh, and still have something stronger.
In a couple of weeks I'll be willing to part with a set of the Bonty's, as-is, pretty cheap.
