So the wheels are sorted.
The front wheel I'm pleased with, the grand bois rims are really nice. Wierdly the guy that built it said they looked like a low quality rim but I think he just wanted to get a diss in after I'd had the temerity to ask for it to be rebuilt properly. Top customer service eh.
Rear hub is a bit heavy at 444g and I don't believe that the sealed unit bearings are any better than cup and cone but it's nice you can replace drive side spokes with only a spoke key. It won't fit the 11spd cassette and I couldn't be bothered to send everything back so I just took the 13t cog out and put the spare spacer at the back. Might take a dremel to the freehub body and try and make the 11spd cassette fit but only if I find myself missing that one cog.
Does look nice though.
