Got some 32h Ambrosio Excursion rims in the Planet X sale and planning on building them up 3x with some decent 11spd hubs to use as general touring/training wheels.
Current thought is either 2nd hand Campag Record which is what I run on the bike, or new Ultegra 6800 as 11spd spacing is identical and in theory, it won't make a difference to the shifting if I am using a shimano cassette. Another plus is Ultegra is still cup and cone, whereas finding the relevant part number, ordering and replacing fucked press in bearings ruins my life whenever I need to do it, which even at once a year is far too often.
Am I missing a trick or should be looking at some other options?
