Wheelset Options?

What options do I have when comes to wheelsets? I am considering the Deep Vs from Weinmann and Velocity, but what else is there in the market that you guys/gals recommend? The thing that is a major thing for me is that the hub needs to be solid, I'm riding on a suicide hub, and I want to change it.

Miche, Mavic and Crane Creek make some pretty good looking wheel sets. Bit $$$ but cheaper than a custom build.

Open pros to formulas are a solid combination.

There's also Alex rims, Mavic rims, DT Swiss rims, Sun rims, etc.

I like the Aeroheads from Velocity. Their Fusion rim is in between the Aerohead and the Deep-V in profile size.

Can't go wrong with Mavic Open Pro rims. People have laced them to Formulas, Miche, Campagnolo, Shimano, Phil Wood, Cane Creek, etc.


Velocity Aeroheads with Formula hubs and DT Swiss 14 gauge spokes. 36 spoke/3x pattern. Strong, not too expensive.

I like FIR, Ambrosio, and Wobler rims--- in addition to Aeroheads. I have more wheels than brains... so be advised.
