I love the way the Topos dampen road vibration but I really need a wheel set that I can ride for years without any problems. I could buy pre-built wheels but for the same or less money I can have a set of wheels built. The wheels I am considering building will probably have DT Swiss 240s hubs, DT 1.1 double-eyelet rims and DT spokes. My question, is there any advantage to buying pre-built wheels as opposed to custom wheels? My back-up wheel set is a hand-built set of Mavic CXP-33s with Campy Record Hubs. They have been rock solid reliable but do not ride, accelerate or climb like the Topolinos. Thanks, Bruce Edited by Darby (06/03/08 07:18 PM) Post Extras
