    Had a quick read of his blog.. not exactly blown away by his tubs argument anymore.. but at least I know that my best wheels will have Chris King R45 hubs on them.

    Most likely you don't need an upgrade, but happy to have a chat if you want

    Re.tubs... They are an unnecessary luxury these days... But if someone is on the market for the best, it is worth getting the best there is, rather than some compromise marketed as PRO material... If that makes sense

    Until your rims wear-out after the 5 years spares support period and you are left with expensive scrap? Check out the prices of spare Mavic rims too.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    I know, I was being ironic.

    You need to read all the other (10000000000000000000000000) threads about wheel upgrades, then it makes sense.

    I think I would be quite happy with 5 years use out of a lightweight pair of wheels/rims.
