I wish I could help you out, but since I haven't actually used this wheelset I don't know what I can help you with.What I can provide is an unsolicited opinion. Whenever I build a bike, I try to figure out a balance between how much it's costing against weight against performance. I figure out a cost per gram for certain parts, how light I want to keep things, and even though I have a new BMC road bike with '09 SRAM Red + Force, I'm well on my way to having the thing cost pennies per mile (currently just under $1/mile). Add some commuter miles to your steed instead of driving, and the bike will more than have paid for itself in no time.Unsolicited opinion #2: Most people don't need a crazy expensive wheelset like this. Even I don't need a crazy expensive wheelset like this.For whatever it's worth, Mavic and Easton both make some fantastic wheelsets at about half the price. They're not nearly as technically advanced, and you don't get the funny looks while riding, but they're easier to use since they're not Deep-V rims, and since they're not as expensive people are more apt to actually put miles on them instead of letting them collect dust until race day.Here's one of my favorite wheelsets:http://www.backcountry.com/store/MAV0021/Mavic-Ksyrium-SL-Premium.htmlFeel free to drop me a line if you have more specific questions, I'd love to help out where I can.mattf [at] bikemonkeyranch.com
