Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

And to the point, I have reason not to trust the rear rim. Are these a good hub to build new wheels from? I hate tossing good parts...

What I understand is 350 series is made in Asia, the 240s and 180 are made in Europe.

I have a set of wheels with 350 hubs and despite being a bit on the heavy side, they are as good as any.

After a little research, it is a 370 series hub set. the rims seem to be of some question, Some say DT Swiss 585 rims, but then the 30mm or 27mm aero rims are of question. If I were to keep the original spokes this would let me match rims. Or just build up from scratch...

If I didn't trust the rim I would be inclined to go with new spokes too. Depending on the specifics of course, but if there's some kind of damage or it's been out of true a lot, some of the spokes have probably seen a lot of stress too.
