My clincher wheels are DT Swiss wheels that I bought on eBay as a cheeper alternative to the SpeedDream wheels. They are really responsive wheels and I like them a lot. They have required minor, easy-to-do truing during the brake-in period. But for a sub-1500 gram clincer wheelset they are quite tough. They are a real joy to ride: real easy to control the bike and pretty aerodynamic, and light enough to spin-up fast. They have DT 240s hubs, spokes, and rims. The seller has some MB wheels on eBay now; item 7116058829 was what I bought (you can enter that number in eBay's search engine and see them). They are fast enough to race on too (although I use Zipp 202s as race wheels). There is a picture in the photo gallery of them. The parts would cost about $700 separately, and I paid only $429.
