i'm after a track wheelset too, and after giving up playing with tubular wolber super champions laced to ambrosio high flange. I decided to build up a set with NOS cxp10's they are aero and quite light(438 g). Using DA7600 HF or DA7710 LF. And with vittoria diamante pista mounted(150g) with lightweight innertube combo it can be lighter or equal to vittoria pista tubs(270g)
Haven't decided yet which, as i would prefer soldered spokes to make it stiffer. Using high flange hub would make sense because spoke would be shorter and therefore stiffer. But really how much difference does the size of the hub flange makes ? Does it really correlates that much ? Any advice appreciated.
P.S. thought about mavic reflexes too. Dont really mind about CD or not. By the way. There was £20 rim on evans exdemo/soiled list. So it's a good spot to look out for someone who is after one.
