I'm inclined to agree. Wasn't there discussion here recently about bicyclewheels.com shipping to Canada now? If you can talk the seller down to $200 then it isn't a bad deal....he has a whole bunch of wheelsets listed now, I think it is Pauly.

Dinner, cheap beer, come to friendly Sunday night with bikes @ 25 Cecil St w/the TOBMA for their holiday get together. 6pm bring you, I believe the menu is lasagna? Not a party so much as a mingling over a meal, it's Sunday night so we don't expect to go late. Everyone is invited, more would know but that we ran out of invitations.

Yeah, keep me in the loop too Wes/duppy - I'm up for a ride today.
bicyclewheels.com was working for me until Wed or Thursday, then it's been giving that error - someone must've b0rk their site
The guy had been out of town (I got an e-mail back from him Thursday) so maybe he's not had chance to get 'er fixed.
Edit: seems to work again: track wheelsets:

oh and yeah, I think I'll be getting those black CXP22s w/ black Formulas to start with, I think Deep Vs would be nice, but a) price and b) don't think I'm hip enough to be rolling on deep Vs

Assuming $20 shipping for those wheels (their domestic shipping price) + 14% tax + $5 brokerage (assuming USPS). Hmm.

I don't ride clipless in the winter. My feet are happier and warmer with platforms and proper boots.

I'd say If your going cheapish wheelset, why not go 36H, its not like they are going to be that light either way, that way they will last longer

I'd say to try your hand at building wheels!
1. Pick up some rims like the open sup's or some ambrosio rims.
https://cgi.ebay.ca/mavic-open-sup-cl...QQcmdZViewItem
then pick up some miche hubs or these: https://keirinculture.com/store//cata...roducts_id=200
2. Go to any shop to pick up spokes and while your at it, ask them to teach you how to calc spoke lengths and tips/pointers in building.
3. read the art of bike wheel building. and read up online.
4. lace them up at home and go to a bike co-op to use their truing stand to finish off your build.
In the end, you'll save money for future builds, learn a new and valuable skill, be MUCH more satisfied with your new wheelset! hoorah!
btw. for those wheels from bikewheelsdirect, you should bring it to a shop to tension them up properly
