I got the VO Grand Cru hub and Sun rims with the Sapim spokes. Runs nice. I have the Shutter Precision hub on the front. May get the Phil Wood hub next time. H&Son comes highly recommended as well. Sun rims w/marathon supremes were tough to mount. The Velocity rims were much easier to mount the tires. On my 3rd set of wheels. I had the Shimano DX hub before but didn't know I was supposed to service the it. Got pitted and so had to start over. I wanted the Velocity rims but they only come in black now with machined sidewalls. I wanted silver.
