My road bike is an Orbea Aspin. Broke three spokes on the rear wheel last month (2500 miles on the bike) so bought a new rear wheel. Campy record hub and open pro rim, Performance had a deal on it $180.00. Was told by more than one shop this should be OK for my weight.
I put a set of Velocity Deep V's on my beater bike. I had them built up with 36 spokes front and rear. They are bomb proof. I paid $288 for the set, delivered.
