Yeah it's the original wheelset, still has the M Steel stickers.
Went to Clerkenwell Screws yesterday, and picked up a whole load of different bits n bobs, most of which seem to do the job quite well; only one or two for the mechs that are totally Shimano specific.
I'm having trouble with the deore brakes, it seems difficult to find threaded V / canti pads that are fat enough to reach the rims. After a bit of research, I've ordered some KoolStop Eagle 2's, as they look beefy, and have threading all the way down, making it easy enough to space them correctly. Finger's crossed.
I've also been watching youtube videos about how to polish aluminum, so might give that a go on the cranks.
