Fyi I just got a wheelset from Hunt Wheels last month. triple butted, disc, but only 28 spokes. Hopefully they last longer than the stock 28 spoke wheels that come on $1,500 bikes.

I've been curious about Hunt wheelsets...they sure seem like a great bang for the buck...can you provide (please) a report/review after 6+ months of use?
