What wheelses will you get? I'd like something lighter for the Supernaut but I'm not sure where to start. I gather it is best to get custom built, I just have no idea of what to buy, from where and who to get to build.

Sorry man I didn't see this untill just now.
Yeah I think custom is the way to go for what I need, relatively light/stiff track wheelset that can take big tyres.
Originally I was going to go for Paul Track Hubs laced to H+Son TB14's via CX Rays, but on second thoughts I've been thinking about the type of riding I do on the Brooklyn when I'm cruising around town and it takes quite the beating.
I take on/off roads I would take my other bikes so I really need to think about a stronger rim.I'm now going to opt for the H+Son Archetype (grey) and also instead of getting the Paul hubs I'm going to opt for the Surly Track Fix/Fix (silver) because to be honest most of the time this wheelset is going to take an absolute pounding so there's no point on me spending mad ca$$$$$$h on them. Lace it all up with silver CX Rays and bobs your uncle.
Saying that, as for a lighter set for the Supernaut really you can't go wrong with Pauls to TB14's.

All awesome besides the finger snapping! >_< Oh dude that is rough, heal up! Glad the bike is fine :)
This is pretty much what I have the Brooklyn for, I've been doing the commutes on it but I really want to use it for long distance fixed.
I've already taken it around the Epping loop and I ride it into deep Kent most Saturday's but things need to be changed though. I'm going to go for drops, I'll also be selling the wheelset and getting something else, a new seatpost at some point and I'll get some basic frame luggage but all in good time.
