I never realized the tubular/clincher purpose behind 700C! The idea of event vs every day wheels does make some sense to me. I think it's less applicable for me as I wouldn't feel comfortable building up a super-light wheelset at my weight but it would make sense for alot of riders I know.

Michael, I did build up the wheels myself, with some qa from a much better qualified wheel builder. I've found wheel building to be incredibly satisfying and surprisingly 'do-able' but I've also had the advantage of a patient mechanic friend and tools access at my co-op. Dyno hubs/light
