Great. Here's my situation: my rear wheel started to make a creaking sound after one and a half years of usage (sequoia elite owner).
I already got a new set of wheels (better, lighter, faster), but I like the old ones very much, despite the weight. Sometimes I put some 2.o tires and do some light mountain biking.
I managed to tear it apart, and fix it (one of the two pawls in the freehub ended upside down). However when rebuilding it... it's not the same :) there is a slight play on the axle and I already damaged a disk rotor.
Right now it is down to numbers. For a similar price to your set of wheels I can get a shimano slx hub and rebuild the rear wheel. Of course your offer is better but I have to sort out the transport. I am form Romania. There are some courier services from London to Romania, and they can deliver cheaper than DHL (or the likes). So you'll send it to them, and they will do the rest. Let me research prices etc. and I will get back to you.
