fwiw, zipp has totally changed their hubs, and their new hubs on their '09 wheels (at least the cx wheels) have a bunch of seals. see our interbike coverage for a closer look. i haven't tried them (yet).<br />
<br />
trying wheels through echappe could be worthwhile to see what you like (they're an advertiser with the magazine).

Another option would be to demo some wheels of different brands and see what you like before dropping a huge chunk of coin on a set. Echappe Equipment offers rentals w/purchase option and credit towards a purchase of various race ready wheelsets. Brands like Zipp, American Classic, Dura Ace 7850's with tires glued and ready to roll.<br />

The American Classic 38's are essentially a Zipp 303 rim with ultralite hubs and super stiff spokes, giving you unparalleled accelleration. Nice light and fast set of wheels and if you want a deeper rim go with a 58.

The Ligeros look pretty nice, but a little out of my $ range.<br />
<br />
I am maxing out around $1000 on Ebay/Craigslist.<br />
<br />
Ah the sweetness of 1100 gram wheels. I borrowed some for CrossVegas and they are like cheating, I can't imagine doing a climbing course on them!

Check out the [url=http://www.cycleco.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=502]Ligero SLW Wheelset[/url] made by Troy Watson. I haven't used these but he made my AL tubular race wheelset a couple years ago and they are light and have held up really well (still have needed truing). These are definitely on my short list if/when I decide to go Carbonic. He knows his wheels.<br />

I just got a set of EC90's. My first race on them was yesterday, it was a pretty hard course as far as wheels go, part of the lap was through construction at the local ski resort. The wheels held up surprisingly wheel, and I bottomed them out on a certain rock almost every lap (20+ laps). So they seem very durable. The hubs spin smooth as anything but the hearsay is that they require a bit more maintenance than other (DT's - featured in Bontrager and Reynolds) hubs. But if you take care of them…

I'm in love with the EC90s. btw, I have the EC90 aeros and weigh 155, and am an average smooth rider.
