"If the hubs are black then careful taping is the best bet. Otherwise a cog will even things out. Although if you've got a really good deal would you not be better just selling them on ebay and vying what you want?"

Thanks for the tip. Selling them on might be the best option; I'll see how much it actually bothers me when I my hands on them.

"I can't tell if you're joking but both the rim and hubs are heavy and the rim drilling suggested it would be 32/32h build... so what ~2kg? It doesn't really sound like a climbing wheelset."

Not exactly the lightest wheelset out there, but possibly one of the best speed/weight/strength combinations, or so I'm being assured. I'm relatively heavy, certainly for a climber, and as implied in my original post, my main concern is those "Hors Catégorie" descends. I'm certainly no expert, so please enlighten me, if you can suggest a feasible alternative.
