Recommend me a wheelset
I primarily ride on an outdoor track, but will do the odd indoor session here and there.
I'm quite ashamed to mention that Im riding on a Giant Bowery 72 (the 72 is important :P), but I'm going on an upgrade spree.
Im almost at the point where the only bits I haven't changed are the frame/forks and wheels.
So can someone recommend me some wheels? Preferably ones that uses clinchers. This is as I cycle to the track (a massive 2 miles each way </sarc>).
Though I will more than likely get some better tyres for indoor use only. So far Conti Supersonics or a Vittoria something or other have been recommended.
The local club recommended something akin to Miche hub and Open Pro rim?
Budget is sub £500.
The bike does do some road miles, but the existing wheelset can do that no problem as they are pretty bad roads and the existing wheel is a flip flop with a freewheel one side.

goltec hubs, built onto CXP33. Absolutely bombproof fixed wheels.
I had mine built up start of summer 2009 and they have seen around 3000 miles. They are light (enough), super strong, the cxp33 is a nice looking rim.. and the hubs are bombproof + smooth. They are still super true running nice. Look forward to another winter on them0
