personally, i would go with the 240's/delgados with dt supercomps. pretty easy to replace a spoke at pretty much any bike shop in north america on that setup, even if you have to temporarily run a straight guage one. you also have the ability to change rims if something better comes along, and it's not like something better than a 240s is likely to come along any time soon...
personally, after reading the reviews
AND speaking with our own paris hilton, i wouldn't touch the delgados. not now, not ever. hopefully he'll chime in on this, but i think brett's description of them was something in the range of wet noodle.
sean, what are you and your girlish figure tipping the scales at these days? would YOU run these? i don't have anywhere near the uber-bike skillz that you do, but i definitely beat on my crap just as much.
i dunno. the mavics look real nice but i have the durability question lingering and i HATE to spend good money on things that break. i think what i'll end up doing is just waiting for the salsa gordos to hit the streets and lace them up to some good hubs. speaking of hubs, anyone have a preference for those? ok, king n' bling, obviously, but does it really even matter if you use an SS hub v. a traditional?
