Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Hubs!

The White Industries aren't the lightest but you'll have them for the rest of your life. Great hubs for training wheels. I built up a set with A 23 rims that came in just under 1500 grams for 24/28 spoke wheels.

they are easily serviceable, light enough but loud.
I just built a pair of these up. Chris King R45 hubs, Stan's A340's, 20/24 with DT Swiss aerolite spokes with allow spokes, front radial, rear 3x. Came in at just over 1200 g. Another friend go a pair made up with 28/32 in the mid 1300 g's. Not bad for clinchers.

the newer black record hubs are no where near as pretty but they are about the smoothest hub ive been around.
Agreed, the newer style doesn't look as classy but they sure are smooth!

I would go with the shimano Ultegra or 105's. The DA is used experimently and when they don't work well the go away.
As for most of the others they are little more than glorified freewheel hubs. https://www.sheldonbrown.com/brandt/free-k7.html

And the November wheels that aren't built in my basement are built in the far east - of Arlington, VA.

What spokes and nipples did you use? I built wheels with H2/H3 hubs and A23's and weigh 1610. I did use brass nips and DT Comps because they are just training wheels.

Ive got some Mavik Ksyrium SL now and I love them, tough wheels and they seem to roll very well (sound good too) I'm wondering if the hubs on these are something I should upgrade or just leave em be.

They would say the same thing but add that Taiwan is part of China.
