For reference I bought this - should have taken the wheels with it
Oh god, that front brake cable routing gives me nightmares.
Aksiums are bomb proof, after 4 years and a lot of miles my rear axel is bent, and some of the spokes are loose, but they run true. Hunts are pretty fragile, my friend hit a pothole with his on the first day and snapped a spoke he must be 60kg max,

Yeah, that's what makes e.g. Aksiums so unappealing. Just don't have time to wait for postage from China for hubs etc. But sod it, maybe I'll just find the best bits I can that will arrive in time to build some.
@hippy okay, everyone knows how low my standards are now - I mean lightweight in comparison. My lightest bike is probably my Kona Sutra so that ought to tell you something.
